The Monegasques (19-3) were downed by Nanterre on the road, showing none of the defensive concentration that usually characterizes them. Still they remain at the top of the standings, overlooking the three-way tie between Orthez, Nanterre and Chalon/Saone that all have a 16 – 6 record.
When it comes to ASVEL (11-11), the defending champs, Chalon/Saone managed to shut them down at home thanks to a fiery 15 – 28 final period. Tony Parker’s club is eighth together with Limoges that blasted Antibes (7-15).
