Without its American Smith, the C’Chartres BM struck a blow by going to win 81-67 in Lorient, this Saturday, January 21.
Thanks to a thunderous start (0-11, 4′) and a perfectly mastered first quarter (3-20, 9′), C’Chartres BM drowned the Lorienters from the start. And the festival continued in the second quarter and Chartres had already made a large hole at the break (23-46).
C’Chartres BM in Lorient without Anthony Smith
If Lorient pulled themselves together in the third quarter (22-12), to even come back to seven lengths in the last act (57-64, 34 ‘), the teammates of Marc-Antoine Pellin managed the end of the meeting perfectly to win by 14 lengths (67-81).
Thanks to this success, Chartres regains a point from Loon Plage and Union Rennes, defeated at home. And on Tuesday, Chartres receives the Rennais and, in the event of victory, the CCBM would return to equality with the Bretons.
