Villeurbanne recovered well in the French Basketball Championship by defeating Pau-Orthez on Sunday 76 to 68 the Astroballe, three days after his defeat in the Bayern Munich (104-63) in Euroleague.
ASVEL keeps the lead with six wins in six games. There is only one more unbeaten team, Boulogne-Levallois, after the defeats of Monaco and Bourg-en-Bresse on Saturday.
The champions of France made the gap in the second quarter (22-8) and sailed with a score of points until the beginning of the fourth. But their intensity then dropped and Elan Bearn returned a moment to five points.
"There was a defensive lax, we can not afford it," said RMC Sports mike Edwin Jackson, the man of the match with 24 points and 7 assists.
