Chalon picked up a victory in the last round of Group B in the FIBA Basketball Champions League, defeating Nymburk 97–84 in front of their home fans.
Jeremiah Hill scored 20 points, along with six assists and five rebounds, Zach Cuthbertson added 19, and Clarence Nadolny followed with 13 points.
On the other side, Sir’Jabari Rice scored 20 points and Keyshawn Feazell had 17.
The French team practically settled everything already in the first half on their home floor. Chalon put up 36 points in the first quarter and 60 by halftime, so it looked like they might even break some competition records. However, they slowed down a bit, and Nymburk managed to cut the deficit by the end and avoid an even heavier loss.
Chalon finished the group stage with a 5–1 record, but will still have to go through the Play-In, as they ended up second in Group B due to an inferior point difference. On the other hand, Nymburk recorded one win but still advanced, as they finished ahead of Sabah.
