Poitiers Basket 86 challenges Bourg-en-Bresse

Poitiers Basket 86 (Pro B)
JL Bourg-en-Bresse (Betclic Elite)

2^e quart-temps

29-36. What a pass from Rupnik! The Slovenian leader passes the ball between Kokila’s legs to find Ojiako in the paint. Despite the Bressian domination, “Magic Luka” finds a way to put on a show and wake up Saint-Eloi a little.

21-30. The JLB drives the point home thanks to Courby and Pansa (12^e). The PB suffers inside and is largely dominated on the rebound (4 to 11 in the 1^is quart-temps).

1^is quart-temps

21-25. The Poitevins finish this 1^is quarter-time four lengths behind the Bressan team. Although this may not seem like much, there is a real difference between the two formations.

21-21. The entry of Kévin Harley, author of four points, did good to PB 86 (8^e).

15-17. And Nelson’s dunk! Despite the entries of Rupnik and Ramljak, the JLB is still ahead (6^e).

10-11. And the JLB takes, for the first time, the advantage in this match thanks to Kokila (4^e). Under the eyes of the new president of the French Basketball Federation Jean-Pierre Huckler, the gap in level is immediately felt between the Pro B resident and the Betclic Elite team.

10-6. And one for Ojiako who scores the first points of PB 86.

7-6. Thanks to Castaneda, Usher and Kokila, the Bresse team has almost already caught up (2^e).

7-0. Let’s go to the Jean-Pierre-Garnier room! PB 86, which has a 7-point lead at kick-off, starts with Brena-Chemille, Eyango, Prot, Blair and Ojiako. Benitez, Nelson, Usher, Castaneda and Kokila start for JL Bourg-en-Bresse.

Pre-match

19h55. JL Bourg-en-Bresse is coached by the new coach of the France team Frédéric Fauthoux. The latter came with the Blues to the Futuroscope Arena on November 24, for a Euro qualifying match. The French team won against Cyprus (85-70).

19h50. The PB 86 will appear weakened to challenge the Bresse formation. Jonathan Jeanne (illness) and Ilane Fibleuil (muscle discomfort) do not appear on the match sheet.

19 h 45. Good evening and welcome to this live! This evening, a gala match will be hosted in the Jean-Pierre-Garnier room. PB 86, seventh in Pro B, welcomes JL Bourg-en-Bresse, fifth in Betclic Elite, for the 8^e of the Coupe de France final.
