The 23rd consecutive victory for Paris Basketball, in addition to bringing it closer to the Limoges CSP record, allows the capital club to formalize its place as runner-up to Monaco. It is with the status of seeded No. 2 that the Parisians will participate in their first playoffs in Betclic ELITE, six years after the creation of the club and for their 3rd season in the elite.
And 23 consecutive victories for Paris!
Despite the victory of JL Bourg at Gravelines-Dunkerque, Paris can no longer be joined by ASVEL and the Ain club (two victories in advance and the basket average on the two teams). It is with its usual recipe, a TJ Shorts dominant (24 points and 8 assists), that Tuomas Iisalo’s team got the better of Élan Chalon (73-84). In an awkward encounter on both sides (6/30 at 3-points for Paris, 6/23 for Élan), the Parisians were able to control the game after a good start (17-27, 10′), notably by controlling the rebound (48 to 34).
Thus, the first of the two objectives for this end of the season is validated for Paris Basketball. All that will now be needed is to seek the Cercle Saint-Pierre’s record for consecutive victories, by trying to equal it on Saturday against Roanne, and to beat it on the last day at the Portel.
