Making the difference four times in this match, being joined on the same figure, Antibes was in the lead almost the whole match, before getting a big scare at the end of the match. Faced with a team from Quimper, extremely combative, and fighting to the end, Antibes satisfaction was very real to get away with a short but precious success (87-88).
Daniel Goethals ( coach d’Antibes): “We were really dominant, from the 25th minute in this game. We managed to get our hands on this game, but I had this feeling that it might be hot until the end. It’s in the logic of this French Pro B which has none. I delayed my last time-out as much as possible. We had to adapt to the mistakes. It was hot until the end, Aix and Quimper are two teams from same styling.
These teams are in a dangerous position, but they are not giving up. We left Duwiquet open, it started with this moment of hesitation in the last quarter. I concede an error in the management of the end of the match, I set up a less offensive team. In Angers, Lille, we came very close, in Quimper, we managed to achieve our goals. It’s a great victory, important for us, in the configuration of the results of the day before. Their press zone bothered us. Tonight, we had more control of this match than in Angers or Lille. We didn’t give up, it’s beautiful”
