Basketball: Monaco, winner of Bourg-en-Bresse, leads 2-0 in the semi-finals

Despite a slight ignition delay and a fright until the end, Monaco beat Bourg-en-Bresse (105-99) on Wednesday at home to lead two victories to zero in the semi-finals of the French basketball championship, at a successful final. ASM, big favorite for the title – which it has never won – after finishing top of the regular season and third in the Euroleague, will validate its ticket if successful on Saturday in the JL hall.

Bourg-en-Bresse finds itself on its side at the foot of the wall, after having delivered a better part than at the opening, Monday, where it had only competed during the first quarter (defeat 96-79 in the end). Two days later, she threatened the Principality club until the end, even going into the lead at half-time (55-49) after imposing an unbridled game on the "Roca Team". The team coached by Frédéric Fauthoux then withstood the boost from the Monegasques between the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth, managing to come back from a deficit of eleven points (86-75, 32nd) to a only two units behind at the start of the last two minutes (97-95, 2 min 15 sec to play). The JL inflicted a 6-0 on the Monegasques, thanks in particular to four points from Jordan Floyd (20 pts in total).

Distanced by five units 38 seconds from the buzzer after a tap from John Brown (101-96), Frédéric Fauthoux's players came back in stride on an award-winning shot from James Palmer Jr (101-99 29 seconds from the end), author of a long-distance festival (21 pts including 6/7 at 3 points). But Alpha Diallo, precious (16 pts including 2/2 behind the arc), was solid on the penalty line (2/2, 103-99), before Elie Okobo intercepted the last Bressanne possession in the hands of Isahia Mike to end his evening in style (21 pts including 2/3 to 3 pts, 10 assists).
