First trip of the season for Boulazac Basket Dordogne and first defeat in the Pro B Championship. This Saturday, October 22, 2022, Boulazac played at the Colisée against Chalon sur Saône and lost 87 to 73.
The good start of the BBD match
0-5, on the clock, it was the Boulazac Basket Dordogne who launched hostilities and will count up to 6 points in advance in this first quarter. But the reaction of Elan Chalon is not long in coming. The locals even take this first act on their own and then lead 23-21.
Quickly under pressure, the BBD gives ground
The more the match progresses, the more the locals are comfortable and begin to adjust their sights. The Elan Chalon will be better in the 3-point address and will register a total of 12 winning baskets out of the 30 attempted, for only 5 in total for the BBD. Chalon sur Saône is putting more and more impact into his game and putting pressure on the Boulazacois players. At halftime the delay is 8 points and the two teams return to the locker room. 48-40 in favor of Chalon sur Saône.
The high intensity of the locals makes the BBD bend
The rest of the match will only confirm the questions of the first half. 24 lost balls, a BBD sometimes trapped on the rebounds. Nic Moore released as money time approached 4 minutes from the end of the match, author of 15 points and quickly taken by faults, he will not have had the same impact on this meeting as last Saturday at the Palio against Lille . Chalon wanted this victory so badly and gave himself the means, by putting a lot of willpower into it. It ended up wearing out and paying off against a Boulazac Basket Dordogne, sometimes slightly borrowed. But don’t panic, it’s only the beginning of the season. Boulazac will continue with a trip to Aix-Maurienne in the Leaders Cup and will play next Saturday at the Palio against Vichy Clermont.
