Golden picks apart Nancy as Chalon piles up a 41-point blowout
Chalon was even more ruthless. Grant Golden went 8-of-9 from the field for 20 points, adding 6 rebounds and 3 assists, as Chalon demolished Nancy 108-67 — a 41-point margin, the widest of the weekend.
Carl Ponsar hit 4-of-6 from deep for 15 points, and Mathéo Leray ran the offense with 14 points and 8 assists. Carlos Marshall Jr. tried to keep Nancy afloat with 14 points, but it wasn't nearly enough against that kind of shooting efficiency from the home team.
Wood and Anderson trade haymakers before Le Mans survives at Saint-Quentin
Moses Wood led all scorers with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Jordan King dished 8 assists to go with 19 points, as Le Mans held on for a 98-87 win on the road. Saint-Quentin refused to fold. Karvel Anderson answered with 20 points, hitting 5-of-10 from 3-point range, and Erick Neal added 17 points while dishing a game-high 11 assists. Ousman Krubally chipped in 15 points and 7 rebounds, but Le Mans' balance — Wood and King combining for 42 points and 11 assists — proved decisive.
Johnson's 29 points aren't enough as ASVEL holds home court
Darius Johnson gave Roanne everything he had and still walked away with a loss. He poured in 29 points on 11-of-18 shooting, including 4-of-8 from deep — the same scoring total Castañeda put up in a winning effort a day earlier, only in a losing cause this time.
