In history!

Paris Basketball beat Le Portel to become the first French club to win 25 consecutive games in a season!

A historic season. A record that had stood for over 34 years. Sorry CSP Limoges, now it’s ours. 25 consecutive wins in all competitions, including the Leaders Cup and Eurocup: this season will go down in the annals of the club and of French basketball. But as TJ Shorts, officially the league’s top scorer in the regular season, would say, “The Marathon Continues”. Because yes, behind all these victories lies one final objective: the French championship title.

Against Le Portel, we got off to a sluggish start, with a huge lack of success in the first half, including a very low 3-point percentage. There’s also a team in front of us who want to celebrate their playoff qualification while remaining in 6th place. And in an atmosphere like that of the Chaudron in big games, that makes you grow wings. But Paris… remains Paris. A third quarter that Tuomas Iisalo’s men have the secret to, an incredible success with a 3/3 three-pointer from the start. Boom, Le Portel stunned. The rest of the game was all about management and transition play, with a lot of activity on the offensive rebound (18!) and TJ Shorts (25 points) accelerating at just the right moment to help Paris clinch this final victory of the regular season.

The playoffs: how it works

For the first time in our history, we’ll be playing in the playoffs, and the first game will take place at the adidas arena against Cholet on May 15. These quarter-finals will be played on a best-of-three basis, with the potential match 3 taking place at home. Then, in the event of qualification, the semi-finals will be played to the best of 5 games. Just like the final.

We’ll need you to support us at home!
