A very close first half
During the first two quarters, the two teams have almost the same performance. Defenses take precedence over attacks. Antibes sets the target faster than his opponent but without really being able to escape the score. Xavier Pollard, influential player from Antibes is quickly taken by the faults. He was surrounded by the Boulazacois. The BBD won the first quarter 17-19 but lost the second 21-16. The two teams go to the locker room, the locals then lead 38-35.
Boulazac accelerates, Antibes does not follow
At the very beginning of the third quarter time, the boulazacois play foot to the floor and are more skilful, the winning shots begin to fall well. Nic Moore wakes up and by baskets of which he has the secret and by his many assists, Boulazac manages to make a small gap. A 10 point advantage that the BBD will keep until the end. The Boulazacois were more disciplined than against Vichy Clermont. They lost few balls and followed the game plan concocted by their coach, Alexandre Ménard. Boulazac Basket Dordogne won this third quarter 13-26. Antibes will not come back in the last quarter. Boulazac will not really shake in the money time and won for the second time this start of the season.
