Poitiers Basket 86 won 101-83 at promoted Levallois on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026, in an advanced fixture from the 12th round of France’s Élite 2, stretching its league winning streak to six games, La Nouvelle République reported.

The road win came four days after Poitiers edged La Rochelle 89-85, and the visitors carried the same approach of going out to get the game.

Mahop answers early, five threes light the first quarter

Levallois, the Metropolitans, set the early pace, but Poitiers responded quickly through Mahop, who scored eight points in the opening period and put the visitors ahead 10-4. Five Poitiers three-pointers in the first quarter gave them a 23-19 lead at the 10-minute mark, including a shot from Prot, who was back in the same arena where he won the three-point contest at the 2026 Young Star Game.

Levallois seizes the lead before halftime

Despite a big block by Dauby and a play from Guedegbe, Poitiers slipped slightly and Levallois capitalized to take a 33-30 advantage. The two teams traded blows down the stretch of the half — Ratton’s buzzer-beating dunk was not enough — and Levallois went to the locker room ahead 39-38.

Poitiers recover their standards to close it out

Kévin Harley’s side had to get back to its usual level in the second half, and it did, turning the 39-38 deficit into a 101-83 final score. The 101-83 road win marked Poitiers’ sixth consecutive victory in the Élite 2 championship.

Levallois, a promoted side, were left searching for answers at home against a Poitiers team that has now won six straight.
