Poitiers is dreaming of victory! After a miraculous comeback in the return match, Poitiers managed their decisive game against Nantes on Tuesday, winning 85-75. Despite a close first half that ended 47-47, Andy Thornton-Jones’ squad gradually pulled away in the second half.
This time, the PB86 team didn’t rely on a single hero. They showcased strong teamwork, led by MVP Narcisse Ngoy, who scored 10 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Four other players also contributed with over 10 points: Kevin Harley, Aurèle Brena-Chemille, Marcus Hammond, and Marcus Gomis. Nantes, on the other hand, missed too many opportunities, both in their general play and from the free-throw line.
This victory propels Poitiers into the Betclic Elite promotion playoffs final, where they will meet Pau. Pau is considered the favorite heading into this showdown, which is scheduled to begin in a few days.
