Unlike Basket Landes the day before against Brno (69-65 defeat against the last of group E), Bourges carried out an excellent operation this Wednesday, December 18. Fallen by nothing in Mont-de-Marsan last week for their debut in the second phase of the Euroleague (76-73), the Berruyères reacted against Salamanca (80-67), thus getting closer to the quarter-finals.
Facing the eye-catching Spaniards, the Tangos were guided by Pauline Astier (22 points) – Amy Okonkwo (25 points, 8 rebounds). Still in contact in the last minutes (65-65, 34th), they finished with a 15-2 including a huge end to the match from Kariata Diaby (9 of her 15 points in the last five minutes).
Bourges joins Basket Landes as well as the Italians of Schio in second place in group E (5 wins for 3 losses). The two French teams are now two wins ahead of the two elimination places.
Gabby Williams in good shape
In the other group, Fenerbahçe is still undefeated after its 8th success of the season in Venice (71-79). An evening in which Gabby Williams shone with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals.
