This is a defeat that risks hurting the minds of Lucerne a lot. While the American winger of the Geneva Lions Scott Suggs had just equalized at 57 everywhere, and there were 4 seconds left before the final buzzer, the playmaker of Swiss Central Antoiwne Anderson left in the back of all the defense Geneva and scored his shot in the run. But his basket was immediately refused because a time out had been requested by the Lucerne deputy Norbert Valis a few moments earlier…
Finally victorious in overtime 72-61, the Pommier troupe, which faltered in the middle of the third quarter, now leads 2-0 in its quarter-final of the SB League play-offs. Decisive before the five extra minutes, Scott Suggs finished the game with 15 points, one more than his compatriot Eric Nottage (8 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 lost balls) and Brandon Kuba, who confirms his excellent form at the moment. The Lions will have the opportunity to fold the series on Saturday in Lucerne.
In the other meeting, which concerned a French-speaking club, on Tuesday, Friborg Olympic blasted BBC Monthey with a score of 106-52! The mass was already said at half-time (57-19) and seven Friborg players crossed the 10-point mark, Paul Gravet finishing his team’s top scorer with 17 units. Like Geneva, the defending champion has therefore taken the break and could reach the semi-finals this weekend. The two teams then found themselves opposed in the last four.
