In turmoil for several weeks both sportingly and behind the scenes after the dismissal of Benoît Mbala, Champagne Basket found a little smile this Saturday evening in Normandy. On the occasion of the 17th day of Pro B, Vincent Dumestre was able to count on the return to competition of his pivot Kevin Samuel, injured since September. Led by a Hasan Varence of great evenings, and foreign players who took matters into their own hands, the Marnai club had a solid mid-game after a contested start to the match. Well ahead at the start of the final quarter, the Champenois missed the first minutes and suffered the Caen reaction. Caught by the Normans (76-77), it took a saving basket from Mattéo Legat and good money-time management to achieve a 5th victory this season. Christmas will be a little better, but without excess before the next match against Nantes on Friday in Châlons.
