Gravelines-Dunkerque, which remained on a recent success against Limoges (72-53) but above all four consecutive defeats, faced Nanterre, 7th in the Championship, a team itself with a fairly mixed record with 2 wins for 3 losses in the last five days .
At Sportica, Northerners and Ile-de-France residents fought until the final moments of the match. Four seconds from the end of the game, the last American rookie from the Maritimes, Ray McCallum, made his two free throws and allowed his team to win (87-83) in breathtaking suspense. Gravelines temporarily passes 11th.
