Monaco, which began its Playoffs campaign after all the other teams, due to its participation in the Final 4 of the Euroleague, was however the first to qualify for the final. The Monegasques have still not lost a match (2-0 in the quarter-final against Strasbourg, 3-0 in the semi-final against Bourg-en-Bresse). On the other side, the Mets had to get rid of Cholet in the quarter (2-1), then ASVEL (3-1), three-time defending champion, in the half.
