The suspense was not really there for this first match of the Betclic Elite final between Monaco and Boulogne-Levallois. The Monegasques have indeed very quickly taken the measure of Victor Wembanyama and his teammates. After a good start (23-15), there was a scathing 29-6 over the entire second quarter, with a 3-pointer from Mike James (12 points, 8 assists) at the buzzer to complete the demonstration of the men of Sasa Obradovic (52-21)…
The players of the Rock maintained the pressure on returning from the locker room by putting in the way to quickly destroy any hope of the Mets 92 and win without trembling, 87-64. The demonstration will have been collective since behind Alpha Diallo and his 14 points, six players have scored 7 points and more on the Monegasque side.
On the side of Boulogne-Levallois, only Armel Traoré floated (15 points, 6 rebounds). Little found and not on the pace, Victor Wembanyama for his part compiled 8 points (3/8), 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks while Bilal Coulibaly scored 7 points. The second match of the final will take place this Monday, still in Monaco (8:30 p.m.).
