On the Boulogne-Levallois side, a smile must be in order. After getting the best out of Châlons-Reims this Friday and seeing ASVEL bow on the floor of the promoted Paris this Saturday, Vincent Collet’s players were able to appreciate the performance of Bourg-en-Bresse, which ended a series of three straight losses on the occasion of the reception of Monaco. If the “Roca Team” opened the scoring, the players of Zvezdan Mitrovic quickly suffered the game of JL Bourg who, thanks to a 13-0 in the first quarter, soared to the score, leading by fifteen. lengths at the end of the first quarter. Mike James’ teammates (12 points) scrambled to try to get back into the game, briefly dropping below the ten point mark. The Monegasques have finally found their locker room with a delay in entering lengths.

Monaco did not have the legs

Upon returning to the floor, Laurent Legname’s players did not make any feelings. Led by Alexandre Chassang (21 points), the Burgiens continued their effort to very quickly exceed the 20 point lead mark and then stemmed the sporadic flashbacks of the Monegasques. With an advantage of exactly 20 lengths ten minutes from the end of the match, JL Bourg was able to manage to get their fourth victory of the season and turn their record back to positive. Indeed, at the end of 40 minutes, Bourg-en-Bresse wins by 25 points (88-63) and goes back to eighth place. Monaco, beaten for the second time this season, thus leave Boulogne-Levallois the chair of the Betclic Elite leader and even fall to third place behind Strasbourg with a record of five wins for two defeats, just like ASVEL.
