Red lantern of the Euroleague, Villeurbanne returned to victory by winning at Bayern Munich 76 to 64 on Thursday evening, during the 23rd day, a first away success in three and a half months.
With Alba Berlin’s victory against Belgrade on Thursday evening, Villeurbanne remains in last place, with a record of 5 wins for 18 losses, identical to that of the Berliners. Thursday, they were able to rely on a Paris Lee of great evenings (21 points), as well as Youssoupha Fall, author of a nice double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
After having an 11-point lead at the end of the first two quarters (40-29), the Villeurbannais saw the Munich team come back to four points in the last five minutes, but unlike last week in Bologna against Virtus, they resisted thanks to Mike Scott (6 pts out of 12 in the last quarter), Lee and Fall. Asvel had not won the slightest victory away from its bases since November 15 and a success on the floor of Alba Berlin (73-68).
