Aix-Maurienne secured a 100-85 victory over Levallois in their Pro B fixture on Thursday evening. The home side put together a strong offensive display to claim the win at their own court. The result lifts them further from the bottom of the table as they continue to search for consistency this season.
For Aix-Maurienne, this marks a welcome change of fortune. They had dropped their previous two outings against Cannes and Fos Provence, with scores of 91-95 and 62-85 respectively. The attack looked sharper here, and the 100 points represent a meaningful shift from their recent struggles.
Levallois arrived in decent form, having won three of their last five matches. A narrow 74-73 triumph over Rouen Métropole Basket and a 90-77 victory against Saint-Chamond suggested they were finding their rhythm. But this evening offered little to build on, as they were outscored by 15 points.
The match produced plenty of baskets on both sides. Aix-Maurienne's 100 points contrasted with their previous game where they managed just 62, while Levallois contributed 85 of their own. It was not a game decided by defence, but rather by who could find the net more reliably.
Aix-Maurienne remain in 13th place after 38 games, with 18 wins and 20 defeats. The gap between them and safety remains substantial, but victories like this provide a foundation to work from. Levallois will need to regroup quickly as the Pro B season demands resilience.
