After a narrow defeat in Villeurbanne on Wednesday, Cholet made a strong comeback. Returning to La Meilleraie, Fabrice Lefrançois’s team dominated the Rhône club with a 77-65 victory, largely thanks to Gérald Ayayi’s impressive 16 points. This win ensures a Game 3 will be played this Saturday at the LDLC Arena.
Despite their intention to not take this Game 2 lightly, Paris coach Julius Thomas will indeed have to play a decisive game against Strasbourg this Saturday. This is largely due to a stellar performance from Marcus Keene, who scored 25 points and provided 7 assists, including two consecutive three-pointers that turned the tide in the final moments, leading to an 87-82 win.
