This is a video that still hurts this Sunday, April 10. That of last basket of Rouen Métropole Basket, who faced Boulazac at the Palio this Saturday. While the BBD led by two small points (96-94) at the end of the last quarter, Norman winger Isaiah Philmore recovered the ball after a counterattack and shot just behind the three-point line. He marks his basket on the buzzer, at the last second of the match, thus overtaking Boulazac Basket Dordogne by a single point. After the match, the Rouen club shared the video of this last basket on its Twitter account.
An image that illustrates the great success of the Rouennais during this meeting, with 19 of 40 three-pointers made. A record. These last three points were fatal to the BBD, which signs a new defeat, this time against the last in the Pro B ranking. More worrying, this new setback for Boulazac dangerously close to relegation in National 1. The BBD is still penultimate in the standings and has almost no option left to get out of the red zone. The Périgourdins travel to Strasbourg on Friday April 15, to face the Alliance Sport Alsace.
