Nice loses at home against Montpellier (57-67) in a match played as part of the 14th day of the LFB championship. The Nice team is now in the red in the standings.
However, the Niss’Angels put in a beautiful and promising performance against the 2nd ranked team in the Championship, despite the absence of Christelle Diallo and the departure of Karisma Penn, which already seriously weakened the interior sector.
It was 35-38 at halftime, with Anna Montañana standing out, not forgetting the contributions of Alice Nayo and Laëtitia Guapo!
The Cavigal girls were still in the running at the 30th minute with a hopeful 51-53, giving the visitors a scare who, in the last ten minutes, showed physical superiority with four players scoring 10 points including the unstoppable Géraldine Robert and a clear domination on rebounds, 42 to 19 for the Nice team.
In the end, a 57-67 which the locals do not have to be ashamed of against an Euroligue heavyweight!
Next match for the Niss’Angels is away against Basket Landes who is currently in the top 4 of the standings.
The Nice team will be back on the court at the Leyrit hall on February 1st to face Céline Dumerc and her teammates from Bourges.*
