Regular Season Round 31: Nantes - Le Portel 79-74

Date: February 25, 2014
There was an upset when higher ranked Le Portel (17-14) was defeated on the road by fifteenth ranked Nantes (12-19) 79-74 on Tuesday. The hosts trailed by 8 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 1-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 79-74. The game was dominated by American players. Allen Durham (198-88, college: Grace Bible) fired a double-double by scoring 18 points and 12 rebounds for the winners. Center Todd O'Brien (213-89, college: UAB) chipped in 14 points and 8 rebounds. Durham is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Darnell Wilson (198-85, college: Canisius, agency: Court Side) produced 21 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists and point guard Ronnie Taylor (187-81, college: NC-Greensboro) added 22 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists respectively for lost side. 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. Nantes moved-up to fourteenth place. Loser Le Portel keeps the sixth position with 14 games lost. Nantes will face higher ranked Fos Ouest (#10) in Fos-sur-Mer in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory.
