Denain – Poitiers: 83-86
A heavy task awaited Kévin Harley’s teammates on Friday. They had to end a series of four consecutive defeats away while beating a team undefeated for six games.
But nothing is impossible for Poitiers Basket who had the northern team (83-86). The Poitevins started the match well by taking a good lead in the middle of the first quarter (8-9, 10-18) before maintaining it (15-23) under the leadership of Narcisse Ngoy, who was still very valuable on rebounds (14 in total, 3 blocks, 22 evaluation). Carried by very good Olivier Cartale (20 pt, 19 rating), captain Lien Phillip (15 pt, 26 rating) and Romain Parmentelot (19 pt, 23 rating) in this match, Ali Bouziane’s players were unable to come back at half-time (40-46).
Marcus Hammond’s show in the fourth
But the third quarter was dominated by the locals who even took the advantage before the last ten minutes (64-63) thanks to a free throw made by Cortale. Slightly discreet until then, Marcus Hammond (19 pt, top scorer in PB) started his show and kept his team in front to offer 11e victory for his team this season during a breathtaking end to the match. A great performance a few days after his 31 points against ASA. And also a nice gift for the 350e by Kévin Harley in Poitevin colors.
