The last act was fatal to the Finisterians who let slip the victory before Saint-Chamond (84-80).

There are two minutes left to play. This is the moment to give everything to turn the wind long favorable to Quimper. Romdhane throws himself to steal a ball, Guichard puts his team in the lead (78-77). From then on, the public will stay up until the end to push theirs. In true sixth man. And in this breathtaking finale, Cooke, without trembling, will finish the job (84-80).
