The shock of Betclic Elite at the head of the championship between Monaco and Boulogne-Levallois kept all its promises, and it was the Roca Team which consolidated its position as leader by winning against the Metropolitans 92, as in the first leg.
The Parisians had however taken the meeting by the good end, relying on the Waters-Wembanyama pair to lead 18-7. “Wemby” then distinguished himself at the start of the second quarter with an incredible action, offering himself a dunk tap on his own failed 3-point attempt! A sequence that has already gone around the web.
Monaco has rectified the situation well, whether in defense on the nugget of Boulogne-Levallois or in attack, with the Strazel-Okobo-Motiejunas trio gradually regaining the lead. At +3 at the break (40-37), the Monegasques then started the third quarter with a 10-2 to take off (50-39).

“Until the break, it was still playable, even if it was less good. After our interesting start, it’s a shame to be taken back so quickly. Everything became more complicated behind. We no longer had the same solidity. We gave more generosity and Monaco took advantage of it., regretted Vincent Colletcoach of Boulogne-Levallois. “Victor Wembanyama was very well defended like last time by a guy like John Brown. He was not well served. Despite the injuries, I think we could do a lot better. Our early solidarity evaporated and that’s what got us into trouble. In addition to the quality of our opponent. »
