Dijon bounced back after last week’s loss against Elan Chalon with a win over Cholet 78-62 at home in a game that concluded Day 19 of the French Pro A League.
The hosts were trailing after the first half 35-27 as their shots simply weren’t falling. They were 1 of 8 from the three-point line in first 20 minutes of action.
The third quarter performance brought Dijon back in the game. They won that period 22-11 as they overtook the lead and ultimately won the game.
Rasheed Sulaimon led Dijon to their ninth win this season with a game-high 25 points as they are now standing on a 9-10 record.
On Sunday Le Mans got the big win over AS Monaco while on Saturday Gravelines won the French League game of the year against Boulazac. The game was settled after 4(!) overtimes.
