There was suspense at Antarès this Saturday, March 5, but the MSB ended up winning 95 to 82 against Paris. A victory that was played in the last quarter, there was only one point difference three minutes from the end. Despite a slight lead taken by the Parisians during the first half, the tide turned as the final buzzer approached.
“We had a big week of training and we haven’t played for a long time“, recognizes the Le Mans coach Elric Delord. “We expected at least for the first quarter to lack speed and that’s what happened.“On the other hand in the second half, it was”the steamroller“according to the coach:”we managed to get them to let go because we found more addresses.“
Scott Bamforth injured out
The Parisian dry cleaner on Inside TaShawn Thomas did not destabilize him either. “The first thing he said to me was ‘they squeezed against me and we scored 95 points’ so we knew how to take advantage of it and adapt properly“, for the trainer.”When you cut a player as hard as TaShawn, he may get frustrated and start pushing, not him. He passed the ball, he played fair. That’s a classy player.”
The only reason for concern: the injury of rear Scott Bamforth, the severity of which is not yet known. “He’s a big part of our attack. Seeing him fall hurts and we hope he comes back as soon as possible” commented Dante Cunningham, one of the men in the game with 22 points scored. “Luckily I had more throws and I made the most of this opportunity.” After this trying match, the Tangos will have to move on quickly since the next meeting will be starting this Monday with a trip to Dijon.
