Head Coaches

COLLET, VINCENT
Strasbourg
"After leading by 11 points in the first half, we blew the lead to finish only 3 points ahead. They made big shots during the third quarter. They led, we panicked and lost our concentration… At the end we got back in the game because we found our outside/ inside game, but it was too late. We need to draw lessons for the second phase. Fortunately the result does not change anything and we finish first."
BEUGNOT, GREGOR
Paris Levallois
"The goal was to play and rotate the players tonight. Our first quarter was not good, but fortunately we played better in the other three quarters. It was a no-pressure situation. This game allows us to reassure ourselves about what we can do for the rest of our season. There are things to improve offensively and defensively, but the will of the players is better. This shows that we learn from our mistakes."

Players

DOBBINS, ANTHONY
Strasbourg
"We are disappointed to have lost that game. I think the most disappointing thing is our third quarter with 28 points allowed, especially because our quality is supposed to be defending. Paris is a good team, especially in attack. We should have defended better during the third quarter. The [regular season] is over now. We look to continue to progress."
LANG, NICOLAS
Paris Levallois
"The key to this game was to not have injuries. I think that it was essential for both teams, knowing that we were both qualified. Nevertheless, we showed a quality game. Tonight is our fourth consecutive win and we're happy about that. To finish the [regular season] with a win was important for us."
