Garance Rabot a inscrit 24 points face aux Lituaniennes. Midi Libre – GIACOMO ITALIANO
Les Gazelles ont logiquement fait respecter leur statut de favorites, ce jeudi 12 décembre, face aux Lituaniennes de Klaipedos Neptunas (96-60).
It wasn't the crowd of the big nights in Lattes. Was it the fact that the opponent had already come this season in Hérault or that the BLMA had largely won (74-53) on this occasion ?
In any case, the evening spectators witnessed a great show despite everything. A 96-60 victory acquired from the first quarter despite a slight comeback from the visitors in the second half (53-43, 24th).

The Latto-Montpelliéraines managed perfectly, carried by a boiling Rabot, despite the 18 opposing points of Balaban. The Gazelles could afford to manage because they had spoken the powder from the first minutes of the meeting.
A dream first quarter
Indeed, no need to warm up for Lattes-Montpellier, who got into the meeting perfectly by inflicting a 32-14 in the first quarter of the match. An insolent shooting success (72%) illustrated by Garance Rabot who started with a five out of five on shots including three three-pointers (13 pts).
A three in a row in just one minute of play (9th) and in three different places on the field. The 22-year-old player was able to leave to the ovation of the room after only ten minutes of play. Upon her return to the field, the winger added eleven points to her total.
On the other side of the floor, the defense was not left out with constant aggression. In the air, BLMA also reigned supreme (44 rebounds against 20).
A victory that reassures and ensures a 36-point lead before the trip next Wednesday to Lithuania.
