While Blois signed a third victory in three matches, ASVEL took advantage of the reception of Bourg-en-Bresse to unlock its counter. Gravelines-Dunkerque, for its part, narrowly won against Dijon when Fos-sur-Mer got the better of Nanterre.
ASVEL has finally pulled its head above water! Dominated at Cholet then at Blois, the reigning French champion did not miss his premiere in front of his Astroballe audience against Bourg-en-Bresse. With a thirteen-point lead at the end of the first quarter, Youssoupha Fall’s teammates (20 points, 7 rebounds) set the tone. If the Burgiens experienced a jump at the start of the second thanks to Jordan Floyd (15 points), the Villeurbannais were able to take off before flying off to the scoreboard after returning from the locker room. With a 24-point lead at the start of the fourth quarter, the Villeurbannais were able to ensure a success of 18 lengths (102-84).
Promoted to Betclic Elite this season, Blois is irresistible! During a trip to Paris, the ADA signed a third success in as many outings. However, a complicated and lost first quarter of ten points could have made them dive. The Parisians of Tyron Wallace (25 points) held on until the break before collapsing in the third quarter. Indeed, Jaime Smith’s teammates (16 points, 7 assists) took fifteen points from Paris in ten minutes, but the fourth quarter was not easy. Returning to two points in the last seconds, Paris lost five (99-104), its third defeat in as many games.
✅ Convincing offensively, LDLC ASVEL did not miss its first of the season at the Astroballe by dominating the @JLBourgBasket !

Gravelines-Dunkirk and Fos-sur-Mer masters at home
Beaten in Roanne at the start of the week, Gravelines-Dunkerque had to react in front of their public. The reception of Dijon was not a long calm river but the BCM did sign a second success in three matches this season. Justin Robinson’s teammates (14 points, 5 assists) raced in the lead from the first moments of the game. The gap reached six points at the end of the first quarter but Dijon did not let go, even managing to equalize at the end of the second quarter. However, the Northerners have put a new boost to reach the break with a small margin of five lengths. Thanks to the inevitable David Holston (16 points, 7 assists), the JDA was able to reverse the trend of returning to the floor, taking a four-point lead at the start of the last quarter.
Pushed by their public, the BCM was able to snatch the victory (71-69) in the very last seconds thanks to a last basket from DJ Seeley (14 points). Fos-sur-Mer, beaten at Le Mans for its first match, took advantage of the reception at Nanterre to sign its first success. If the Parisians, pushed by Keith Hornsby (23 points) got off to the best start with a five-point lead at the end of the first quarter, the Provençals accelerated before the break, thanks in particular to Gabe DeVoe (18 points, 5 rebounds , 8 assists), to lead by four points at the break. But, suffocated by the defense of Nanterre, they lost their footing in a third quarter to forget and concluded with a delay of seven points. The last ten minutes saw Fos-sur-Mer give everything to snatch a three-point victory (87-84).
