Tours Dominates Laval, Secures Road Win
Tours showcased their collective strength in an assertive 82-60 road victory over Laval. The visitors established control early, holding a six-point lead at halftime (38-44) and extending it to twelve entering the final period (51-63). The decisive blow came in the fourth quarter, where Tours outscored Laval 19-9 to seal the contest. Their 45% field goal shooting proved too much for Laval's 31% effort, and a staggering 41 points from Tours' bench dwarfed Laval's 13 bench points. While Alexis Racine scored 17 points and Romain Grégoire added 17 points alongside 8 rebounds, Laval couldn't match Tours' offensive output. Off the bench, Jules Gibey led Tours with 17 points, complemented by Franck-Didier Yetna's 16, propelling Tours to a 4-4 record and second place in Group B.
This loss leaves Laval struggling at the wrong end of the standings, now holding a 1-6 record and occupying 13th place in Group B.
