Nancy's first win in the championship

The SLUC Nancy team achieved their first victory in the championship by defeating Nanterre at home, ending a streak of losses to Paris, Cholet, and a heavy defeat at Chalon-sur-Saône.

Nancy's shooting struggles

Despite the win, Nancy struggled offensively, shooting only 33% overall and just 6 out of 25 from three-point range, which significantly limited their scoring opportunities.

Key players underperforming

Several key players had difficult games, including Benjamin Sene, who scored no points and shot 0 for 7, and Lucas Dussoulier, who managed just 1 point and 0 for 5 shooting, though both contributed in other areas.

Nancy's core players shine

The victory was driven by locally trained players and Iranian forward Mohammad Amini, who had a standout performance with 12 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and a strong overall evaluation of 22 points over 36 minutes.

First quarter in favor of Nanterre

The game started with Nanterre in control, leading 20-19 after the first quarter, but Nancy gradually improved their play and took a 46-38 lead into halftime.

Nancy's momentum continues

After halftime, Nancy maintained their defensive pressure and improved ball movement, extending their lead to 11 points by the start of the fourth quarter and ultimately winning by 15 points.

Nanterre's decline in the third quarter

Nanterre's performance declined in the third quarter, and Donta Scott was ejected after a disqualifying foul on Enzo Goudou-Sinha, which further disrupted their rhythm.

Nancy's improved team effort

This win is significant for Nancy, as it shows a marked improvement from their heavy loss in Chalon-sur-Saône, with greater effort and commitment from all players on the court.

Next challenge for Nancy

With this first victory, Nancy regains confidence ahead of their next game, which will be on the road at ASVEL's court on October 25.
