The Bressans come back to the level of the Villeurbannais while the Parisians take a victory in advance in second place.
Paris and Bourg-en-Bresse, winners in different proportions of Nanterre (102-68) and Dijon (66-60), took advantage on Sunday of the defeat the day before Asvel on the occasion of the 27th day of Elite basketball. The Bressans (4th, 19 victories for 8 defeats) come back to the level of the Villeurbannais (3rd, ahead with the particular difference) while the Parisians take a victory in advance in second place.
They confirmed their exceptional form since the start of the year with a 15th consecutive victory in all competitions at the conclusion of a perfect week, which began with a qualification for the Eurocup final on Friday against the London Lions (series won 2 -0). Nanterre, although difficult to handle this season (5th three victories behind Paris), was unable to do anything against the Parisian tornado, especially during its favorite quarter, the third (won 24-14 to lead 81-60 in the end of this period).
A long distance festival
Tuomas Iisalo’s team also had a long-distance festival (14/29) and once again demonstrated its squad depth (10 players scored between 4 and 16 pts). She could face Bourg-en-Bresse in the final of the Eurocup, which will play its decisive support match on Wednesday against Besiktas. Despite this huge deadline, the JL did the job on Sunday at Ekinox, despite a comeback from the Burgundians (58-58, 37th), thanks to the awakening of David Holston at three points (two consecutive winning shots, his only baskets of the evening) in the last minutes.
The Bressans finally escaped thanks to the presence under the circle of Bodian Massa (10 pts and 7 rebounds). Le Portel for its part won after extra time (83-77) the Côte d’Opale derby against Gravelines-Dunkerque to maintain its two victories in advance (with one more match) over the first non-qualified team (Strasbourg). The BCM finds itself in the relegation zone, with the same number of victories (9) as Roanne but one match more.
