Dominant for most of the game on Saturday, our Parisians lost 81-83 at Bourg-en-Bresse on the 16th day of Betclic ELITE.
Destructive money time
Our Parisians came very close to securing a fourth consecutive win (ASVEL, Venice, Vilnius). But a shot from Canadian guard Isiaha Mike four seconds from the buzzer thwarted their plan. It was the end of the road for the players from the capital, who did not disappoint yesterday at Bourg-en-Bresse (3rd).
This Saturday, Nadir Hifi’s team-mates demonstrated their talent and tenacity throughout a match that electrified the Bresse stadium.
And with good reason, our Parisians once again shone on Saturday, displaying a game based on the energy of an entire team. With Michael Kessens back on the floor, Tuomas Iisalo’s protégés competed for a long time before succumbing to their opponents, galvanized by the support of their fans.
This defeat is bound to slow down Paris Basketball’s progress, although they remain in second place in the Betclic ELITE rankings.
