The locals seem caught in all sectors and coach Bass is looking for solutions by opening his bench. A good pass from an incisive Paillier allows them to come back a little (21-28). The second quarter is more balanced, there are numerous ball losses on both sides but AOL returns to a good period (30-35).
Progress mentally
Unfortunately, Rabah scores a difficult basket at the end of the possession which puts the locals back at bay (30-38). The half-time score (35-43) still gives hope for an exploit but the leader raises his voice after the restart. Still in the match in the middle of the third quarter (43-54), the Périgueux players then missed several opportunities to cast doubt on an opponent who ended up breaking away irremediably (55-83).
The coach is disappointed by the result but above all by the content proposed by his men: “We gave up on the desire, it’s not what I expected. We have to progress mentally to fight for the duration of the match. »
