Toulouse. The TBC turns Bordeaux into piquette
> The essential
For the last meeting of the first phase, the derby of the Garonne without stake, a victory of the TBC was expected against the Bordeaux red lantern.
The Toulousains having retained the match at the place, there is not cut either suspense. Bordeaux took a pike.
> The encounter
His first two shots attempted at 3 points succeeded, roundly anticipated counter-attacks, aggressiveness in attack, defense, skill (nearly 59% success in shots in the first period), the TBC, even without Aygalenq (retained for a stadium of the France 3X3 team) and without Sahraoui, very quickly took the lead (16-4, 6th) and exceeded the 20 lengths lead at the end of the 1st quarter (27 -6).
At halftime, Toulouse increased their lead (50-17) all the more easily as Johnson was forced to come and wax the bench on his third personal foul (16th). In the end, the TBC collective (7 players between 10 and 16 points and 26 assists) had little opposition last night.
> man of the match
In the absence of Fayçal Sahraoui, injured in a calf, who should be out for 2 to 3 weeks and the best Bordeaux player of the season, the Franco-Malagasy Kiady Razanamahenina, Victor Mopsus enjoyed himself as playmaker: 3 fouls caused, 2 steals, 10 rebounds, 10 assists (9 at the break), plus an unmeasurable defensive intensity.
