LFB : Basket Landes makes Bourges fall

In what is now a clasico, Basket Landes offered a 3rd consecutive victory against the defending French champion, Bourges (71-67).

18 balls lost at halftime! This explains why Bourges scored only 23 points at halftime while conceding 34. Bourges drove their boat better afterwards, but it was too late.

“To speak of fatigue is to start looking for excuses,” commented coach Olivier Lafargue for Le Berry. It is to say to ourselves: ‘we were catastrophic, but it is not serious, it is because we were tired’. If we are tired, why do we come back with a different energy?”

The game sheet reveals that the two leaders, Marine Fauthoux (19 points) and Marie-Eve Paget (11) were the two best scorers of Landes but also that a third international, Kendra Chery, made a harvest in the rebound (11).

There is still some good news for the Tango : For his return to the Women’s League after a long unavailability, Endy Miyem took advantage of his 22 minutes of play to collect 10 points (4/5 in shots) and 3 rebounds.
