Beyond winning, manner was more important than ever. Asvel needed at least 14 points more than Bourges to secure a place in the final, and they did so by winning well this Saturday at Astroballe (93-73).
In the last period, the Tango was already too far to come back. But Yvonne Anderson (20 points) and her teammates fought to the end to try to close the gap, clinging to their ticket for the final, on which they had put four fingers after their big victory in the first leg. (80-67). Their efforts were in vain.
Driven by his excellent skill (41% from three points) and 23 points (9/11 on shots) from Blake Dietrick, among other remarkable performances, Lyon exploded in the second quarter (30-18), then confirmed in second half. Dominant, David Gautier’s players join Villeneuve-d’Ascq, winner of Lattes Montpellier (73-70) earlier on Saturday, for the last phase in the best of three matches, which will start on May 17 (8:45 p.m.).
