Limoges grabbed its first victory of the new French League season, forcing Elan Chalon to begin with a 0/2 record.

By Eurohoops team/ info@eurohoops.net

Limoges (1-1) absolutely dominated Chalon (0-2) right from the start (29-10 at the end of first quarter) to ultimately prevail in an emphatic manner, 90 – 65.

This is a result that raises the alarm in the champions’ camp since not only they are winless, but they’ve lost their first two games with an average deficit of 22.5 points.

In the meantime, Strasbourg (1-1) grabbed its first victory of the season by beating a still Boris Diaw-less Levallois Metropolitan (1-1) on the road. Klemen Prepelic had two chances to prevent defeat in the final seconds but his lay-up attempt and a 3-point shot were thwarted by his opponents.

Le Mans got an impressive road win over Monaco (1-1) to stay perfect at 2-0 together with ASVEL, Orthez, Hyeres Toulon and Dijon.
