The French team suffers but wins against Cyprus for the first of Frédéric Fauthoux

The former Cholet interior scored 13 points against the Cypriots in the last quarter alone, including a spectacular dunk on the head of Daral Willis (64-50, 33rd). Then, while the opposing shooters had given the host country some slim hope, Axel Bouteille and Nolan Traoré put an end to the suspense (72-59, 38th). The main thing is except for France, still undefeated in the race for the Euro before hosting Cyprus on Sunday in Poitiers (5 p.m.). To achieve a victory, in style this time.
