The OLB did not always have an easy life this Tuesday, March 26, but he had the last word at CO’Met (81-72) against a very valiant Saint-Chamond team, to sign a 16th success in the ProB regular season. The rear traction Darius Johnson-Odom /Stefan Smith had a lot to do with it with 39 points and a lot of high-class actions.
Buzzer-beater at the end of the first period
Starting off on a very good basis (5-2, 2nd; 15-10, 8th; 19-14, 10th), the Orléanais owed it to a well-established defense and a long-distance address in good shape (4/8 behind the arc in the first quarter). Beyhurst, Johson-Odom, Gomis and Bolanga, with his special of the moment, the buzzer-beater at the end of the period, all four went there with their winning shot to put the OLB in the match.
In the tough before the break
But when these beautiful people became less precise, and especially less hard in the defensive work, the situation changed and Saint-Chamond was able to close the gap (19-20, 12th), before making himself beautiful ( 21-23, 13th; 33-39, 18th; 34-41, 20th). Sovereign in the air (22 rebounds to 13 at the break), inspired on the counter-attack as well as on placed plays, the Loire team had almost everything right at this moment of the game.
Bolanga catches fire
They still ticked a lot of boxes at the start of the third quarter and increased their lead a little more (36-45, 22nd). The clouds were gathering in the Orléans sky, but Noah Bolanga (12 points) chased them away almost single-handedly, bringing down the hail at 3 points, three times in a row, enough to put the OLB back in the match (51- 48, 26th). Gomis, then Johson-Odom then worked to maintain the surge and left Saint-Chamond five lengths behind at the end of the period (62-57, 30th).
Big sequences
After a succession of big sequences, often concluded by Darius Johnson-Odom (20 points, 20 evaluation), the OLB took the upper hand (74-63, 36th) but the Couramiauds refused to give up (74-69, 38th), in the wake of Moujib and Addison. Darius Johnson-Odom then came out on top to finish the job, mainly on the free throw line (11/14), and offer a 16th victory to the OLB.
