After leading by double-digits for most of the game in Salle Gaston Medecin, Elan Chalon held on to beat AS Monaco, 104-99.
Mike James dropped a game-high 31 points with 9/14 field goals, but could not prevent La Roca Team from falling to 1-1 in France’s Betclic Elite Regular Season. Alpha Diallo and Daniel Theis joined injured Yoan Makoundou on the sidelines on Sunday.
Despite missing Jeremiah Hill due to injury, Chalon improved to 1-1. Zac Cuthbertson paved the way with a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double. Captain Lionel Gaudoux added 21 points.
Without Nando de Colo, Shaquille Harrison, and Thomas Heurtel in Palais des Sports Pierre Ratte, a late sprint with eight straight points pushed LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne to an 81-76 victory versus Saint-Quentin. Pierric Poupet’s side jumped to 2-0.
The last game of Round 2 is on Monday, with Paris visiting Le Mans at Antares.
