Nancy-Le Portel (85-78)
In difficulty in recent weeks, with some annoying defeats (against Strasbourg and at the Chalon ignition), the Sluc Nancy had a great opportunity to recover by welcoming the Portel. And as early April at Stade Rochelais, Sylvain Lautié's team assumed its favorite status, without radiating against ESSM (85-78).
Dominator, Nancy, however, could never definitively bury the Portel, even by leading more than 10 points several times, at the start of the 2nd quarter (31-18, 14 ′) but also from the last (69-55, 32 ′). The aggressiveness of Mohammad Believe (13 points, 7 rebounds) and the omnipresence of Clément Fry (18 points in 36 minutes), however, were not enough to completely distance a catchy stelist team in Lorraine.
Rebosted by his good performance against ASVEL (unsuccessful that said), ESSM was only a point of Nancy at the entrance to the last five minutes thanks to a 13-0. In an overheated gentilly, the SLUC finally had the last word (85-78), despite a large 3-point of Digué Diawara (13 points) in the last twenty seconds.
Sluc Nancy thus takes a 13th victory in 26 games this season, strengthening its place in the top 10 synonymous with Play-in. The ESSM The Portel heads more than ever to the dams, even with the fear of seeing the Rochelais stadium come back?

Nanterre-Stade Rochelais (63-76)
La Rochelle, condemned by all to relegation for a long time, can still hope to play 15th place by Betclic Elite (2 victories from the Portel four days from the end). Despite the absence of Tom Digbeu, Stade Rochelais went to seek in Nanterre a victory that no one was waiting for almost at the end of the season.
However, accusing a delay going up to -13 in the first period, the Rochelais stadium made a superb second period (24-44) to afford its 4th success of the season. Museing the Nanterriens after the break, Julien Cortey's team was able to count on a collective at the appointment (7 players at 6 points or more). With a 16-0 on horseback on the end of the 3rd and last quarter, La Rochelle took a decisive advantage (53-68) to finally win without trembling in Maurice-Thorez
In one week, the Hauts-de-Seine club thus illustrated once again what its 2024-2025 season is, going from a convincing victory against the Aek Athens in the background of the BCL, to a frankly avoidable reverse against the red lantern of Betclic Elite. How to hope at the same time to prevail with 38% success at 2-point and 20 lost balloons on the meeting.
