The Bressans took provisional second place in the Elite championship this Thursday evening after their defeat against Saint-Quentin (86-71).
Bourg-en-Bresse provisionally took second place in the Elite basketball championship by largely winning against Saint-Quentin (86-71), Thursday during the 18th day. With this 13th victory (compared to 5 defeats), the Bressans are ahead of Paris and Asvel, who however have one game less. Saint-Quentin is 7th (9 wins/9 losses).
Facing the promoted side, who had surprised him in the first leg by winning by 31 points, Bourg took the match in hand from the start by leading 21-8 2 minutes from the end of the first quarter.
The gap increased to +17 at halftime (54-37) before Saint-Quentin rebelled through Loïc Schwartz (14 pts in total) whose winning basket and a free throw allowed his team to come back at -4 (67-63) at the start of the fourth quarter. But Bourg accelerated again to maintain his advantage until the buzzer, thanks to JeQuan Lewis (19 pts) and Bryce Brown (15 pts). The other match of the evening was closer and ended in a victory for Nanterre over Nancy (89-88). The Ile-de-France team, led by Desi Rodriguez (28 pts) and Justin Bibbins (23 pts), retains 5th place ahead of their evening opponent.
The last match of this day, between Monaco and Asvel, was postponed due to the Euroleague. Villeurbanne conceded its 15th defeat of the season in C1 on Thursday against Real Madrid (77-76) and Monaco welcomes FC Barcelona on Friday. The Gravelines – Paris match was also postponed after the fire which ravaged the northern team’s room on Monday.
