Our team remain unbeaten at home

Who can stop our Espoirs ? In a decisive clash in the race for the Top 7, Paris Basketball dominated Bourg-en-Bresse with an iron grip this Saturday on Matchday 8 of the league (93-88).

There was no room for error for our young Parisians! Ahead of this latest domestic fixture, Paris held just a single narrow victory’s lead over their opponents on the day. A slender margin, given the strength of the opposition, which proved costly right from the start !

Despite a solid start to the game, our Espoirs were caught off guard towards the end of the first quarter. Buoyed by a strong run, JL took control of the game just before the start of the second quarter (23–27). Paris Basketball then relied on an ultra-complementary trio to take the lead. Dario Cokara led the scoring (21 points), Samuel Bringer dominated the paint (9 rebounds) and Noam Delag provided the assists (10). It didn’t take long for our well-oiled machine to set the record straight !

As soon as they fell behind, Paris kicked it up a gear. And with a clinical shot from Myles Barry from the top of the key, Julien Mahé’s side took the lead. A lead they held onto throughout the second quarter. Remaining focused right to the end, our young stars managed the closing stages of the match perfectly (93-88).

On the back of three consecutive wins, the Paris Basketball Espoirs will look to extend their winning streak this weekend in Limoges.
