The victory of the collective
OLB players have a full game. Manhandled at the start of the match with up to 9 points behind, Germain Castano’s men reverse the situation and take the lead with a LaMonte Ulmer great evenings. At the break, the Orleanais lead 47-37 with 69% defensive rebounds.
The scenario is the same after returning from the locker room. Limoges tries to disrupt the Loirétains but nothing helps. Orleans is on the way to continue a third win in a row in Betlic Elite. It is above all the victory of a collective with the contribution of substitutes and many players in a great evening. The OLB coach highlighted the performance of all his players, a collective victory with Chris Warren at 23 points, Kyvon Davenport at 17 points (7 shots at 100%) and LaMonte Ulmer at 14 points.
