Rouen Dominates Challans Behind Kensmil's Double-Double
Gavin Kensmil orchestrated Rouen's commanding 98-77 victory over Challans at the Kindarena.
In a regular-season affair with little on the line for either side, already distant from Leaders Cup contention, Rouen seized control early, establishing a 15-point lead by halftime (58-43).
Rouen's dominance persisted, extending their advantage to 17 points entering the final quarter. The home team leveraged a significant 38-18 edge in bench scoring, alongside a sharp 51% field goal efficiency (37/73), to seal the win.
Kensmil was instrumental with a double-double, tallying 15 points and 11 rebounds, complemented by Ikenna Ndugba's seven assists. Challans, despite outrebounding Rouen 46-40, struggled offensively, shooting just 37% from the field, with Luka Nikolic leading their efforts with 13 points and nine boards.
The win solidifies Rouen's 16th position in the standings, while Challans remains at the bottom.
