Scott recorded a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds, setting the tone for a Nanterre side that weathered Dijon's challenges. Holding a nine-point lead at halftime (49-40), Nanterre saw their advantage whittled down to just four points entering the final quarter (62-58). However, a decisive surge in the fourth quarter, which they outscored Dijon 25-11, sealed the contest.
