Nancy SLUC — Vienna Basket: 66:65, FIBA Europe Cup

Nancy edged Vienna Basket 66 to 65 in a FIBA Europe Cup clash on Tuesday evening. The hosts held their nerve in a tight finish to secure a narrow victory.

Vienna had entered the match on a difficult run, having lost their previous four encounters. Their most recent outing saw them fall 78-62 to Sturm Graz, continuing a pattern of struggles.

Nancy's results have been inconsistent of late. They lost 85-76 to Cholet on Saturday before dropping 78-73 to Paris Basketball earlier in the month.

The one-point margin suggests this was a closely contested affair, though without detailed play-by-play information I can't say more about how it unfolded.

For Vienna, the loss extends a run of poor form that has seen them concede heavy scores on several occasions recently. They fell 114-58 to Oberwart Gunners just five days prior.

Nancy will take heart from coming through a close game against a side that has found scoring difficult of late. The victory keeps them in contention in the competition.
