The match started at an intense pace. Shawn King opened the ball with a dunk that allowed the JSA to open his counter (2-0). The two teams thus went blow for blow, notably under the impetus of the velocity of Calvin, Le Borgne for the visitors who scored at three points (2-5). The American leader of the JSA, Jordan Rezendes answered him in stride (5-5). The match was launched with a real crossover with the Bordelais who came back to score twice by Jordan Rezendes (11-11) then Kévin Mbaitoubam (13-13). However, and despite a basket outside the zone of the captain of the yellow and black Clément Desmonts which gave the advantage to his team (16-15).

Hopes dashed
Obviously, the Meilhannais confirmed during the second period that they had not come to make up the numbers in Gironde with a fast game and a defense which considerably destabilized the Bordelais. However, Émile Chassaigne with a nice interception (18-21) then a nice long distance basket, allowed the JSA to lead for a moment (23-21). But it was only an illusion since Garonne inflicted a 12-0 on the Girondins under the impetus of Corentin Lopez (23-29) and Grégory Sequele (23-33). A first gap was made with a +10 in favor of the visitors. Garonne managed until the break and returned to the locker room with a comfortable lead (28-39).
Led by 11 points, the JSA had no choice but to recover. The reaction was not long in coming with transcended Bordelais. The locals thus inflicted a 13-2 under the impetus of Jordan Rezendes and Clément Desmonts who investigated the three-point baskets. Tauzin’s proteges had turned the tide and Kévin Mbaitoubam gave the advantage to his team (42-41). The JSA machine then seemed to fly towards success carried by a fiery Jordan Rezendes, author of 25 points in the game.
