The Montois tighten their defense and win balls (22-25, 12th). But the opponent gets their hands on the game and the gap widens for the Toac (22-35, 16th, 28-37 in the 18th). After a timeout on each side, the Toulouse regained the lead before returning to the locker room (28-41 in the 20th).
The Toac rolls out
In the third quarter, the Toac players continued to unroll their basketball and smash the Mons defense. Vaty scores twice at mid-distance (35-48 in the 23rd) while the address continues to flee the Mons (42-58, 26th). The Toulouse are working to increase the gap, despite the onslaught of Sarr, Puertas and Roubaud (46-70, 30th).
The last act sees Pawlicki and Abdou Patao scorer on the side of the Montois, but nothing helps. The Toac opens its bench and rests its executives (54-75 in the 34th). Faced with the approximate defense of the premises, Boulaire and Collin dig the gap (61-83 in the 37th) and the three offensive actions of Goram do not change the outcome of the match (67-96 in the 40th) and this 16th defeat in 17 days which buries the red lantern a little more.
Reaction
Philippe Carrère (Stade Montois coach) “We didn’t exist, it would be a truncated analysis to say that we believed in it. I didn’t feel a spirit of revolt among us, nor a desire to surpass ourselves against a team that was better equipped in all positions. I regret that we were not opportunistic on the fact that the Toac showed up without three of its major players per line. »
