The burst reached a 2-10 and it wasn't until Dan McClintock appeared with his layup for a Nancy basket and a 4-10. However, a triple by Collins and a three-point play by Derrick Zimmerman made a 4-16 for the guests. Nancy's offense had real problems trying to play over the guests' defense, while Adam Harrington blasted a new triple and Ivan Pavic left a layup for a 10-23 forcing Nancy's timeout. That worked as Nancy managed to forge a small 4-0 run capped by Maxime Zianveni but the guests dis the same as Pavic closed the first period for a 14-28.
