Roanne pulled off a surprise by defeating Paris 83:76 on their home court in the 12th round of the LNB Pro A league.
Despite Paris’s dominance in the EuroCup with a perfect 7-0 record, and their strong performance in the domestic championship 9-2, the host managed to upset the favorites.
Roanne is considered part of the lower tier teams in France, making the win even more unexpected. The odds were not in their favor before the match, but they proved otherwise in this encounter.
In the opening quarter, the home team capitalized on Paris’s relaxed approach and secured a lead of 28:14. Building on that momentum, they continued to play well, avoiding a total drama and securing the victory.
Kellan Grady and Yannis Morin were the main contributors with 13 points each. Despite a solid performance from T. J. Shorts, who scored 15 points and provided nine assists, it wasn’t enough to help the visitors.
Roanne currently holds the 15th position with a record of 5-7, while Paris is in second place with a record of 9-3.
