“It’s a trap match.” Alexandre Ménard did not seem to be overflowing with confidence heading into this meeting against Poitiers. However, a week after the frustrating 89-88 defeat on the floor of Roanne, Boulazac Basket Dordogne won at the Arena Futuroscope with a score of 86-76 against a very playful Poitiers Basket 86 team.
In the first quarter of this match, the BBD started perfectly with a lot of intensity and spectacle. The two teams even indulge in dunks to the delight of the 5,000 people at the Futuroscope Arena in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou. After 10 minutes of play, Boulazac Basket Dordogne trailed 17 to 15.
In the 2nd quarter, the two teams did not let go. Poitiers continues its march forward and shows character against Boulazac. When going to the locker room, the BBD is trailing by a small point, 44-43. In the third quarter, it's the same music, Boulazac and Poitiers stand their ground. In the final seconds, Warner and his teammates took a slight advantage, pushing the score to 60-64.
