Defeat in Le Havre

Despite a strong start to the match, the Paris Basketball women’s team suffered defeat this Saturday in their eighth league fixture in Le Havre (84–99).

It has been a tough week for Paris Basketball. Having been knocked out of the Coupe de France by Franconville a few days earlier, our French NF2 champions travelled to Le Havre. Although still missing several players, our team nevertheless got off to a good start.

Paris Basketball did indeed lead for most of the first quarter. They were drawn level on the scoreboard just before the start of the second quarter (26–26), but Paris quickly fell behind by a significant margin. Our various attempts to fight back ultimately proved unsuccessful (84–99).

Kiara Leno’s teammates will have the chance to bounce back next Saturday at 6 pm in front of their home crowd against Centre Fédéral (INSEP). It promises to be a match brimming with talent at the Halle Carpentier, which you can attend completely free of charge.
