The series continues for leader Villeurbanne: 11th victory in as many games after the wide success on Sunday 94-69 against Portel, penultimate of the Championship of France basketball.
A national invincibility that contrasts with the sluggishness in Euroleague where Asvel conceded another defeat Thursday in Tel Aviv against Maccabi (93-62). The third in a row during this European campaign.
But at the Astroballe, facing a much more modest opponent, the team chaired by Tony Parker, broke away at the end of the first quarter, which the Rhodanians concluded with ten points ahead (29-19) Edwin Jackson (16 points), Ismael Bado (14 points, 8 rebounds, 21 of evaluation and MVP of the match) and Charles Kahudi (13 points) were the main craftsmen of this success.
Villeurbanne will try to sign a 12th win Wednesday in Nanterre. The Parisians beat them earlier in the afternoon Limoges 93-71, thanks to 24 points Kenny Chery.
The Nanterrians confirm their improvement with this second consecutive positive result at home after the one against Pau-Orthez (101-89), who had ended a series of five defeats.
