As for the MSB, it lost four places and fell to 12th place.
At the start of the evening, Asvel, led by Luwawu-Cabarrot (20 points, with an improbable basket), continued its recovery by dominating Blois (85-77) at the Astroballe as part of the very advanced match of the 17th day . The winger, in great form recently, was well supported at the mark by Lauvergne (16) and Scott (12). With this third success in a row, the Villeurbannais consolidate their place on the podium behind Paris, although with one more match.
Gravelines-Dunkerque, largely beaten in Paris on Saturday, reacted well by dominating Cholet (65-57) at home at the end of the evening, in a match counting for the 14th day. Despite this success, the BCM remains penultimate in the championship, while the Choletais are in 12th place.
