Date: February 8, 2014
A very close game took place in Poitiers between Poitiers and Le Portel. Eleventh ranked Poitiers (14-14) got a very close home victory over higher ranked Le Portel (15-13). Poitiers managed to escape with a 2-point win 81-79 on Saturday evening. The hosts trailed by 2 points at the halftime before their 26-15 charge in the third quarter, which allowed them to win the game. Poitiers made 17-of-20 free shots (85.0 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of American point guard Justin Ingram (189-85, college: Toledo, agency: Two Points) who helped to win the game recording 17 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists and American-British power forward Laurence Ekperigin (201-88, college: Le Moyne) who added 10 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists during the contest. At the losing side American point guard Ronnie Taylor (187-81, college: NC-Greensboro) responded with 22 points and 6 assists (perfect from downtown making all five shots) and his fellow American import Darnell Wilson (198-85, college: Canisius, agency: Court Side) scored 13 points and 6 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Le Portel's coach Eric Girard rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
