Elan Chalon secured a 97-74 victory over Boulazac on Saturday at Le Colisée, pulling away in the second half behind a dominant display from Mathéo Leray and Grant Golden, Le JSL reported.
The hosts entered the contest following a mixed week that included a victory in Manchester and consecutive losses in Betclic Elite play against Kalev and Nanterre, according to BeBasket. Boulazac s’est présenté au match avec la possibilité pour Alexandre Ménard de s’appuyer sur une rotation à 10 joueurs professionnels.
The first half remained tightly contested. Boulazac stayed within striking distance largely through the interior work of Essomé Miyem, who tallied 11 points before the intermission, while Golden kept Elan Chalon level with 10 points in the opening quarter alone, as noted by BeBasket.
After a 44-40 halftime scoreline in favor of Chalon, the hosts capitalized on perimeter shooting and fast-paced distribution. Leray orchestrated the offense with precision, finishing the first half with nine assists before ending the night with 11 assists alongside 10 points.
“On se dirige tout doucement vers la 5e victoire de la saison en championnat pour l’Elan, et la deuxième de suite toutes compétitions confondues, après Manchester, mardi dernier,” Le JSL reported from the sidelines as the lead grew.
Chalon converted 11 of 30 attempts from beyond the arc, contrasting sharply with Boulazac’s struggles from long range. The visitors managed just 3 of 22 shooting on three-pointers and recorded only 10 total assists across the match, as detailed by Sud Ouest.
Golden paced the winning effort with 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting from the field and pulled down five rebounds, earning a 21 efficiency rating. Jeriah Horne added 14 points, sinking three shots from three-point range to help stretch the margin during the third quarter.
For Boulazac, Shannon Bogues led the scoring with 18 points, and Joshua Uduje contributed 15 points. Miyem finished with 17 points, maintaining his offensive output from the early stages, but the visiting side’s 10 team assists and 22 missed three-pointers hindered any potential comeback in the final period, per Sud Ouest.
The defeat halted Boulazac’s recent momentum, while Elan Chalon preserved its unbeaten home record in the league, claiming a fifth win in Betclic Elite competition in front of 4,100 spectators at Le Colisée.
