The leader of Betclic Elite, Boulogne-Levallois, fell this Saturday in Dijon (93-74). The other Hauts-de-Seine club, in Nantere, for its part lost a humiliating defeat in Orléans (118-73.
This Saturday in Betclic Elite, the leader Boulogne-Levallois fell on the battlefield of Dijon (93-74) during the 20th day. The series of three wins in a row for the Ile-de-France residents came to an abrupt end in Burgundy where American full-back David Holston shone brightly, helping to establish a final gap of nearly 20 points with a beautifully crafted double-double (28 points, 10 assists). This misstep does not prevent the team based in Hauts-de-Seine from keeping the lead with three victories ahead of their runner-up, Monaco. As for the JDA, 7th, it is still ahead of Strasbourg, 8th, which also won at home against Gravelines-Dunkerque (78-68). This 3rd consecutive defeat still deprives the Northerners, 11th, of top 8, synonymous with qualification for the final stages at the end of the season.
