La Rochelle — ASA: 95:88, Pro B

La Rochelle beat ASA 95 95:88 in the Pro B on 25 September 2026, extending their unbeaten run after a shaky start to the season. The hosts sit eighth on 21 wins from 38 games, while the visitors remain 11th on 19 victories.

And here's the thing — we had tipped the home side at 54 percent confidence, and it came off. Not because they dominated, but because they held their shape when the game tightened. By then it was clear ASA 95 couldn't find a rhythm against the rotation.

The visitors had won five of their last ten, including a 77:70 against Mulhouse on 15 September, but that form evaporated under pressure. La Rochelle's defence, usually their weak point, got dragged out of position less often than usual and forced rushed shots.

Eighty-eight points on the board for the away side should be enough, but not when you're facing a team that knows how to grind out wins. The gap stayed within reach until the final quarter, where La Rochelle's experience showed.

It means the hosts move closer to the playoff places, while ASA 95 drop further behind. The table doesn't lie — 21 wins make a difference when you're chasing consistency.
