Limoges Dominates Le Portel on the Road
Limoges asserted their dominance at Le Chaudron, securing a commanding 105-83 victory over a struggling Le Portel side. The visitors seized control early, establishing a ten-point lead by the end of the first quarter (24-34) and never looking back. By halftime, Limoges held a comfortable fifteen-point advantage (42-57), extending it to twenty entering the final period (59-79).
The decisive factor was Limoges' potent bench scoring, which contributed a remarkable 48 points. While Le Portel shot an efficient 58% from the field, they were undone by 17 turnovers and a disparity in rebounding, with Limoges securing 37 boards to their 18. Lucas Fischer was a standout for Le Portel, pouring in 26 points, complemented by Kylian Mpete's 16 points and 6 assists, and Greg Lee's 17 points. However, Limoges' balanced attack, featuring 46% three-point shooting and a near-perfect 89% from the free-throw line, proved too much. This loss keeps Le Portel rooted at the bottom of the Leaders Cup standings, while Limoges climbs to 13th.
