There will be a match 5 to designate the champion of France. Asvel dominated Monaco (85-68), Wednesday, June 22, during the fourth match of the final of the championship of France. Led 2-1 by Roca Team before this match, the Rhodaniens had no room for error and did not miss the call. They largely took over their opponents who were nevertheless playing at home. The winner of the Betclic Elite will be designated on Saturday June 25 after a final decisive match in the Astroballe de Villeurbanne.

TJ Parker’s players quickly stifled the Monegasques and took control in the game. From the start, Asvel put pressure on their opponent by putting in place a more intense defense and a largely recovered address compared to the third game. With great Marcos Knight and Chris Jones (19 points), they finally crushed Monaco which could not rely too much on its strong element, Mike James, author of 14 small points.

The two teams, up and down since the start of the finals, will have no room for error on Saturday if they want to clinch the title. It would be the first in the history of the Roca Team, the 21st for Asvel which would further accentuate its footprint in French basketball.
