Struggling in the Championship, the Strasbourgeois won a second European victory this season, Wednesday evening against Bursa (94-89). Despite a good start, SIG spent much of the last two quarters chasing after the score.
Returned to height thanks to two free throws from Bodian Massa (76-76), Strasbourg even came very close to a first defeat at home this season. But, opposite, Tyler Ennis (0/5 at three points) wasted a match ball behind the arc, before missing the winning shot.
The Alsatians can thank Matt Mitchell. Uncertain before the meeting due to a virus, the American had a big game (23 points) and locked the return of Strasbourg in the money-time (91-87), with a silky fadeaway.
