Paris Basketball concluded the Betclic ELITE regular season by writing a page in French basketball history, while Saint-Quentin and Cholet qualified for the playoffs with impressive performances.
Paris Basketball sets a new historic record
Paris Basketball made the history of French basketball by breaking the Limoges CSP record with its 25th consecutive victory in the Betclic ELITE regular season. In a match against Le Portel, Paris dominated with an impressive collective performance, relying in particular on the 25 points and 5 assists of TJ Shorts. This victory consolidated Paris’ position as one of the most formidable teams in the league.
Saint-Quentin and Cholet get their ticket to the playoffs
Promoted to Betclic ELITE, Saint-Quentin marked its return to the competition by qualifying for the playoffs with a convincing victory against a Strasbourg team which concluded a disappointing season. In a bustling Palais des Sports Pierre Ratte, Saint-Quentin demonstrated its collective strength by dominating the match, with 26 assists and only 8 turnovers. Their next challenge will be against ASVEL in the quarter-finals of the playoffs.
Likewise, Cholet secured its place in the playoffs by beating Élan Chalon in a match that highlighted their long-distance skill and defensive solidity. Despite fierce resistance from Chalon, Cholet tightened its defense in the second half to finally win, driven by a remarkable performance from Neal Sako with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals.
