At the end of a breathtaking end, Etoile Angers Basket signed his sixth success in 10 days, joining the rankings JSA Bordeaux (80-78).
A victory gained at the final buzzer. And yet, for a handful of seconds, both teams thought they had to resort to an extension. Explanations. At 78-78, after a miss shot by Antoine Wallez, Jérémy Bichard took the rebound, shot and ... scored. Basket refused by the referee who felt that the match had come to an end. Misunderstanding in the Angevin clan persuaded that the final buzzer had not sounded. An impression confirmed a handful of seconds later by the scorer's table. EAB is therefore needed 80-78.
