Paris Basketball: 1st spot of the regular season in the French Domestic League

A small French basketball update: Paris Basketball had a really up-and-down season, 12 players left/traded/bought out after last season.

We didn’t make the Euroleague playoffs and in the domestic league we kept showing up against big teams but struggling against smaller ones.

Today was the last “match day” and we were 3rd in the league. Coming into this, anyone from 1st (Monaco) through 4th could’ve snatched the first place, and finish on top of the regular season before the play-ins next week.

We won, tonight, against Tony Parker’s ASVEL (87-76), and our rivals lost, therefore ensuring 1st place and homecourt advantage. LFG!
