Calm and easy. The Gazelles imposed themselves in style on the Klaipedos pitch. After the first leg won hands down (96-60), Lattes-Montpellier only needed a serious match and to avoid a terrible disappointment but Valéry Demory's protégés did better by controlling almost the entire match.

A French duel to come ?

However, the start of the match was not to their advantage with a 5-0 set by the Lithuanians but this BLMA did not panic. Carried by the power of pivot Fankam in the racket (12 pts, 6 rbs) and the vista of Limouzin (11 pts, 10 rbs), the Hérault club took off during the second quarter and was never caught again.

In the next round, BLMA will face the winner of the duel between Tarbes and the Germans of Keltern, for a place in the quarter-finals. Advantage for the moment for Keltern, who won the first leg 60-45.
