Tray Buchanan savior of La Rochelle, Angers and Fos tighten the race for maintenance
The 28th day of PROB this Friday notably saw the victory of leader La Rochelle in Gries-Souffel with a crazy finish from Tray Buchanan.
Almost nothing to report for the leading teams, La Rochelle and JA Vichy, this Friday evening. Nothing, apart perhaps… the enormous end of the game from La Rochelle player Tray Buchanan. Not necessarily off to a good start in the last quarter against Alliance Sport Alsace, Julien Cortey’s team then relied on 23 points in this single period from its leader. A victory in Alsace (69-75) which allows us to maintain a good lead over Vichy, winner of Élan Béarnais (93-82). Joan of Arc inflicted on the Palois a 6th defeat in seven games, synonymous with ejection from the top 8.
A Shawn Tanner record for Angers, Évreux crushed by the Antibes racket
Thanks in particular to Shawn Tanner’s career points record (28 points), Étoile d’Angers can still believe in its survival after its victory against Denain (82-71). In a tense encounter (63-60, 34′), the performance of the young Angevin player made the difference in the final victory. Also relegated before this Friday evening, Fos Provence is no longer relegated after its victory against Rouen (83-70). With a Robert Turner III once again very good (25 points and 6 assists), the Fosséens dominated the entire game where they led up to +22 (50-28 at the start of the 3rd quarter).
The BYers are outside the relegation zone (16th) thanks to Évreux’s defeat against Antibes (76-96). Sporting a somewhat decimated racket, the Amicale laïque de la Madeleine was unable to do anything against the Antibes interior duo Boyer / Gavrilovic (29 points and 20 rebounds between them).
The derby between Aix-Maurienne and Saint-Chamond will be the possession of SCBVG in the championship. After winning the first leg (75-63), Maxime Nelaton’s team did it again on the return leg (88-93). AMSB (14th) thus still remains under threat of the relegation zone, while Saint-Chamond (11th) can still hope to play in the top 8.
Finally, Lille returned almost to Poitiers after its victory in Poitiers after extra time (91-96, ap). The big performance from Lille interior Marcus Santos Silva (25 points and 11 rebounds) notably allowed the LMB to make the difference in the extra period.
