at the end of the suspense, Monaco has Strasbourg
The Roca Team won ahead of the SIG on Wednesday, at Gaston-Médecin, thanks to Dwayne Bacon at the buzzer. A match from the 24th day of Betclic Elite.
Dwayne Bacon with an improbable shot at the last second saved his Monaco team at home against Strasbourg on Wednesday in an advanced match of the 24th day of the French basketball championship, putting pressure on leader Boulogne-Levallois. Thanks to this 105 to 103 success snatched from forceps and after extra time, Monaco signs its 17th victory of the season as much as for Boulogne-Levallois, but with one more match on the clock for the Monegasques.
Against Strasbourg, the Principality’s players came very close to defeat, but Mike James, seven seconds from the buzzer, equalized (89-89), forcing SIG into extra time.
At the end of it, the Strasbourgers on a two-point shot from DeAndre Lansdowne thought they had done the hardest part by taking a point lead less than two seconds from the end, especially since Sasa Obradovic’s players had to come back the whole field, the Monegasque coach no longer has time-outs. On the throw-in from Léo Westermann, Dwayne Bacon attempted a desperate shot which returned to ensure success.
On the Strasbourg side, the meeting was marked by the first points scored by Illan Pietrus (16), the son of the former international and European champion with the France team (2013), Florent Pietrus.
