Antibes stages fourth-quarter comeback against Vichy
Antibes staged a dramatic turnaround at home, overcoming a fourth-quarter deficit to defeat Vichy 83-72, powered by a decisive 25-10 run. Entering the final period trailing by four points (58-62), the Azur Arena outfit flipped the script, ultimately winning by eleven. While Vichy's bench outscored their hosts 44-20, Antibes' resilience shone through, particularly in limiting turnovers to 10 compared to Vichy's 12. The home side shot 49% from the field (29/59), though their three-point accuracy was modest at 30% (8/27).
Jagan Mosely spearheaded the offensive charge with 21 points, closely followed by Matthieu Gauzin's 19-point effort. Patrick Tape was a force throughout, narrowly missing a triple-double with 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists, earning an EVAL of 27 and proving instrumental in the momentum swing. Vichy, who had held a nine-point lead at halftime (41-32), struggled offensively, converting just 33% of their field goal attempts despite a respectable 32% from beyond the arc. Mohamed Sankhe contributed 12 points off the bench for Vichy.
This result sees Vichy's hold on third place in the standings potentially loosened, while Antibes solidifies their fifteenth-place position, moving further away from the relegation zone in the regular season standings.
