In a manner dangerously reminiscent of what took place in the previous Final, Strasbourg blew a double-digit lead down the stretch against Elan/Chalon.
Only this time, the players of Vincent Collet kept their cool, taking a 84 – 78 victory to force a Game 5 in the series. Behind 23 points by Erving Walker and 21 points by A.J.Slaughter the finals are now tied at 2-2 and Frank Ntilikina has a major scheduling issue.
The young French guard who was used for 14 minutes and did not score in today’s game has to attend the NBA draft on the 22nd of June and if he wants to be present at Game 5 he has less than 24 hours in order to return to France from New York. And that’s what he intends to do.
