While the leaders maintain their unblemished starts, clubs at the bottom of the 16-team table continue searching for their first victories of the campaign.
Undefeated Leaders Set the Early Pace
The opening weeks of the French basketball championship have separated three teams from the rest of the pack. Dijon secured a high-scoring 108-96 victory over Limoges CSP on Friday, October 9, cementing their status at the summit. Paris Basketball followed by overpowering Strasbourg 98-84 on Sunday, October 11, while the ASVEL handed Roanne its first defeat of the season by a convincing 96-77 margin on the same day.
According to the official league standings, all three clubs share a 100% win percentage through three rounds. Dijon holds the top spot on the table, followed by the ASVEL in second and Paris Basketball in third, with rankings determined strictly by victory percentage during the early phase of the regular season.
Blowout Wins and Tight Contests Shape Round Three
The weekend schedule delivered decisive margins across several arenas.
