This is one of the actions of the night in the NBA… and confirmation of the new dimension taken by Bilal Coulibaly since the start of the season. During the night from Sunday to Monday, the back of the Washington Wizards once again highlighted himself with a sequence which has since been circulating on social networks.
Considered one of the best defenders in the North American Basketball League, the Frenchie stood out against the Pacers with a two-block action. After spectacularly preventing TJ Mc Donnelle’s access to the circle, Coulibaly stopped Quenton Jackson’s attempt a few seconds later. A defense which brought a lightning counterattack from the Wizards concluded by Alex Sarr, the other Frenchman on the team, and giving Washington the advantage (59-57) at the very end of the first period.
Rarely, the two Habs Alexandre Sarr, authors of 17 points, finished as the top scorers of their team. However, they could not prevent the new defeat (the 11th in a row) of their team (103-115). Coulibaly ends the game with a complete stats with 17 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and… 2 blocks. Sarr, number 2 in the last draft last June, recorded the second double-double of his career and signed his new personal best in rebounds (14 catches). Statistics to which we must add two counters.
Bilal & Alex (!!)
