The Nabeuliens ensured their qualification for the play-off after their victory yesterday against ES Radés (56-53), as part of the 8th day of the championship. The start of the match was difficult for the Banlieusards with a lack of concentration on the rebound which gave Potiers double chances who took advantage of it to score and allow their team to lead the debates (19-6) in the first quarter. The Potters, well led by Marouki, Lejmi, Ben Gabsia and Mechmech, will impose their game to widen the gap to 14 points (28-14) in the 15th minute.
Mouine, helped by the American Jones, will move up a gear. Carried by a very good collective synergy and above all a nice duo dominating the ESR in the person of Bouaouina and Edhif, the Nabeuliens imposed their game to widen the gap to 17 points at half-time (40-23). However, the Radesians did not give in to panic and immediately returned to the game by reducing the gap to six points (40-34) in the 26th minute. The Nabeulians confused speed and precipitation allowing Rouissi, Mabrouk and Diethiou to take the lead at the end of the third quarter (43-40). Which heralded a crossover and a balanced duel. But the Nabeuliens, more realistic, took the advantage in money time and ended the match in pain (56-53).
