Chartres achieved an 83-92 victory, allowing them to tie with Vendées in points and overtake them by a hair in points difference across their two direct confrontations. Toulouse, another contender for the eighth qualifying spot for the playoffs, was defeated by Lattes-Montpellier (66-82), and Basket Landes was thereby knocked out by another contender, Lyon. Lyon once again made it tough for the leading Landes, who were significantly ahead at halftime but ultimately challenged until the end (63-67). Nevertheless, this 19th victory of the season in 22 matches remains insignificant in the fabulous season of the blue and white team.
