Last Wednesday, during match 1 of the Betclic Elite accession play-off (Saint-Quentin, first in Pro B, is already promoted), Chalon-sur-Saône was dominated at home by Châlons-Reims (77-70) . The Burgundians had no choice, Saturday in match 2: victory or let his opponent join the elite. But Chalon did not tremble and in turn won (72-63) at his rival. A third opposition, Tuesday (8 p.m.), will therefore be necessary in Chalon-sur-Saône.
Elan Chalonnais took the lead and had widened a gap at the break (41-28) and at the end of the third quarter (57-40). Châlons-Reims then knew how to react, signing a 23-15 in the last ten minutes. Insufficient, however, to win.
In the ranks of Chalon-sur-Saône, Antoine Eito scored 21 points (5/16 in shooting including 3/10 from three points), took seven rebounds and delivered six assists. Swede Mattias Markusson also showed up (14 points and nine rebounds). Cameroonian Samir Gbetkom Bikantchou was the top scorer for Châlons-Reims, with 16 points.

On Sunday, on the sidelines of Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Miami Heat, Adam Silver, the boss of the North American pro league, spoke about certain projects on which the body he leads is in the process of floor. Negotiations with television channels should begin next spring. Then Silver hinted that the NBA would be interested in expanding its number of teams.
There are currently 30 franchises and the league could create two more. « (The NBA) don’t have anything specific in mind at the moment. […] But it makes sense over time”said Adam Silver, quoted on the website of Forbes. It’s been almost 20 years since the basketball league welcomed a new team (since the Charlotte Bobcats in 2004, which have since become the Hornets). The franchises that had emerged in the meantime (Oklahoma City, Brooklyn, New Orleans) had been relocated.
The two cities holding the line for possible expansion would be Seattle and Las Vegas. The first named already had an NBA team with the SuperSonics from 1967 to 2008. The franchise was champion in 1979 (and runner-up in 1978 and 1996), before being relocated to Oklahoma City.
Las Vegas has never seen the NBA before. But the Nevada city is on the rise in US sports: it has a WNBA team (the Aces since 2018, defending champions), another NHL team (the Golden Knights since 2017, who are currently playing in the final), one of NFL (the Raiders since 2020) and could recover the Athletics, currently in Oakland (California), in MLB.

The Vegas Golden Knights escape to the NHL Finals. Monday at home, in Game 2, they inflicted a correction on the Florida Panthers (7-2). The Nevada franchise leads two wins to zero now. At the end of the second period, the score was already 4-0, in his favor, after goals from Jonathan Marchessault, Alec Martinez, Nicolas Roy and Brett Howden.
This gap led to a change of goalkeeper, on the side of the Panthers. Sergei Bobrovsky, one of the architects of Florida’s superb run in the play-offs, gave way to Alex Lyon. The latter still went for the puck three times in the back of his net, also a victim of Marchessault and Howden, plus Michael Amadio. The Florida Panthers had two goals in the final period through Anton Lundell and Matthew Tkachuk.
In their first two matches in this final, the Vegas Golden Knights managed to score 12 goals. No team had been so prolific since the New York Islanders in 1982. The final will continue Thursday in Miami with Game 3.

This is the beautiful story of the 2023 World Cup. Latvia had reached the semi-finals of a major international tournament for the first time (Olympic and World Games). And, Sunday in Tampere (Finland), after having yielded little, the day before, against Canada, she won the bronze medal, beating the United States (4-3 ap). Again, a great first in its history.
The hero of the day was defender Kristians Rubins (25), who scored his team’s last two goals. The first five minutes from the end of regulation time, to equalize at 3-3, and the second in extra time to give victory to Latvia. A nightmare for the United States, undoubtedly the most beautiful team of the World Championship, but which finally left Finland without having won a medal.

From 0-3 to 4-3 in MLB and NHL
In the NBA, no team has therefore gone from 0-3 to 4-3 in the play-offs. On Monday, at home, the Boston Celtics may achieve an unprecedented performance against the Miami Heat. In MLB, on the other hand, the Boston Red Sox achieved the feat in 2004 of eliminating the New York Yankees – their biggest rival – in seven games, after losing the first three in the league final. This series has entered the mythology of US sports. Especially since Boston was then crowned champion for the first time in 86 years. In the NHL, the 0-3/4-3 scenario has been successful four times: Toronto in 1942 (in the final), the New York Islanders in 1975, Philadelphia in 2010 and Los Angeles in 2014. The latter will be crowned champion this year- there.
