The victory of Boulazac Basket Dordogne will do good to the club, to the group, to the trainer who seemed in doubt and asked himself many questions. The BBD has just ended its series of 4 losses in a row. This evening, it was on returning from the locker room that the Boulazacois, and especially by negotiating the money time very well, were able to experience this eighth success of the season. It was time to react, they did!
Boulazac and Tours neck and neck in the 1st half
Neither of the two formations will manage to distance themselves during the first two quarters, even if Tours often takes the score on their own, thanks to a great success in long distance shots. Each time the BBD approaches, the Tours Métropole Basket achieves an award-winning basket and maintains its 5-point lead. A gap maintained until the break, until the locker room. Boulazac is then led 45 to 50.
Boulazac better than Tours in money time
The Boulazacois players were under tension, coach Nikola Antic, too, but everyone took part in the victory. Note all the same the excellent performance of Olivier Cortale who realized, last night, his best match of the season. He is the man of the match, with 18 points scored. But the other influential man on the BBD side is Nana Foulland, author of 17 points and 8 rebounds, including 6 defensive. He was invaluable under the baskets. In the absence of Nicolas De Jong and Nic Moore, the rest of the team knew how to take their responsibilities and raise their level of play to afford this new success in Pro B. Next match, Saturday, with the trip to Blois.
