Victorious in Dijon (79-73), two days ago, JL Bourg had the opportunity to record its qualification for the semi-finals of the play-offs this Tuesday evening. Frédéric Fauthoux’s men won at the end of the suspense on their Ekinox floor (92-90), after having led by 18 points.
The match started on a very offensive basis. After being 8 points behind (5-13, 4th), abused by the David Holston-Gavin Ware duo, the Bressans went back in front (27-24, 10th).
By inflicting a 17-0 on its host, straddling the first two quarters, JL Bourg completely thwarted JDA Dijon (39-24, 16th), thanks in particular to the superior quality of its rotations. The Côte-d’Oriens were also powerless against the speed of Jordan Floyd (48-35, 20th).
In the wake of a great David Holston and thanks to the return of their outside address, they found their colors on the restart (48-42, 22nd, then 71-69, 30th). The cards were redistributed.
Jonathan Rousselle’s big shot behind the line gave the Dijonnais a first advantage for twenty-five minutes (71-72, 31st). But the French trio of JL Bourg – Maxime Courby, Pierre Pelos and Hugo Benitez – took responsibility at the best time (79-74, 33rd).
This did not prevent David Holston from still believing in it and putting everyone back on par 30 seconds from the end (89-89). On an unbalanced shot, Jordan Floyd finally sent JL Bourg to the semi-finals (92-90).
In the semi-final, she will challenge the winner of the series between Monaco and Strasbourg, which will begin this Wednesday.
