Sasha Derradji delivered a masterclass with a triple-double, powering Saint-Vallier to a commanding 117-77 victory over Pôle France. Saint-Vallier, already up by 18 at the half (57-39), blew the game open in the third quarter, outscoring their opponents 34-17 to enter the final period with a 35-point cushion. Their offensive efficiency was on full display, hitting 59% of their two-point attempts (48/82) and a blistering 50% from beyond the arc (16/32), a stark contrast to Pôle France's 42% field goal percentage. Olivier Yao-Delon was another offensive force, pouring in 40 points, while the Saint-Vallier bench contributed 33 points to the rout.
