This poster for the 15th day of Pro B basketball begins with the package of 3 players on the Boulazac Basket Dordogne side, 3 players affected by the pandemic and absent from the floor this Saturday January 22, 2022 at the Palio. Serron, Loubaki and newcomer Cyzauskas didn’t play tonight and the Périgord team missed them a lot.
Boulazac suffering from the start of the match
7 balls lost in the first quarter alone, a statistic that shows all the difficulty of the BBD this evening against the leader Saint Chamond. Boulazac already in pain and winded, having a lot of trouble scoring his baskets, against a more comfortable and successful Saint Chamond, with a total of 14 winning baskets out of the 29 attempted. Boulazac will only score 4 award-winning baskets during this match. A more laborious game for the locals, with difficulties in defending well. When returning to the locker room, at half-time, the damage is done, Saint Chamond then leads 49 to 41. But Boulazac, who was up to 17 points behind, is still alive.
Nic Moore out on disqualifying
The American playmaker from Boulazac Basket Dordogne did not have his usual performance, and too often wanted to save the team on his own. Nervous, he contests and sees himself punished by arbitration, he leaves in the middle of the third quarter time. A huge damage for his team, followed by the exit for 5 faults of Nicolas De Jong, nothing was going for the BBD, this Saturday evening. The inability to find inside play on the Boulazac side, the lack of success and nervousness, Boulazac has never been able to worry the leader, this evening at the Palio. We will have to quickly recover to go to Saint Vallier next Tuesday evening.
