Paris Levallois was trailing 17 – 28 at the beginning of the second quarter against Elan Chalon. Following the two defeats on the road, it was a do-or-die game and they needed a big-time response if they wanted to have a future in the playoffs.
That was the moment when their survival instincts started to take over. With Jason Rich scoring 24 points on 10/10 (!) from the field and sending 4 assists to his teammates, the hosts completely turned the tables at halftime (43 – 38) and beat their opponents 86 – 69 to make the 1-2 in the French league semifinals.
Cameron Clark had 20 points and John Roberson 15 plus 5 assists in their efforts to close the series with a sweep for Chalon. Yet they and their teammates couldn’t make the most out of their impressive entrance in the match, especially in the second half when Paris Levallois became the boss of the game completely.
