Unlike Basket Landes the day before against Brno, Bourges did not miss the opportunity to achieve a valuable success against one of the last in their group. Thus, this Wednesday, December 18, the Tango won against Salamanca (80-67), thus getting closer to the quarter-finals of the play-in. Defeated by the Landaises during the first match of the second round of the EuroLeague, the Berruyères returned to their height thanks to this success at the Prado.
To achieve this, Bourges was able to count on an incredible duo Amy Okonkwo – Pauline Astier (47 points). The two players carried out a real project, which they and their partners managed to achieve with a victory. Still neck and neck with the Spanish team in the last minutes (65-65, 34′), the Tango finished with a 15 to 2 including a huge end to the match of Kariata Diaby (9 of his 15 points in the last five minutes).
With this victory, Bourges joins Basket Landes and Schio with a record of 5 victories and 3 defeats, far from being the flawless one of Mersin. But Tango and Landaises now have two victories ahead of the two elimination places.
