Eurocup : La JL Bourg au rendez-vous du dernier carré !
Version Française
La JL Bourg a brillamment décroché sa place en demi-finales de l'Eurocup, s'imposant devant son public. Malgré une entame de match quelque peu laborieuse, où les Bressans accusaient un retard de 18-23 à la fin du premier quart-temps, les joueurs de Freddy Fauthoux ont su trouver la bonne carburation pour renverser la vapeur et s'offrir une victoire sur le score final de 83-79.
Adam Mokoka s'est illustré de manière éclatante, terminant meilleur marqueur de la rencontre avec un total de 20 points, une performance cruciale pour la "Jeu". Cette qualification revêt un caractère historique, marquant la deuxième fois que le club atteint ce stade de la compétition. Il est à noter que lors de la saison 2023/24, la JL Bourg avait déjà fait parler d'elle en parvenant jusqu'à la grande finale de l'Eurocup, s'inclinant alors face au Paris Basketball.
