The end of the “regular season” is not as glorious as one would have wished, but ultimately this unexpected defeat in Toulouse did not change the course of things.
Nice, beaten 3-1 by the Spacers, remains 9th in the standings and will have to wait for the verdict of the Commission of Conciliation and Arbitration of the CNOSF to know if its players can go on vacation or if they need to prepare to play the quarter-final against the number 1 club in the championship, Tours.
As for the match in Toulouse, the partials clearly show that the Nice team missed the mark: the first two sets, lost 20-25, 22-25, set the tone.
The reaction that led Mladen Kasic’s players to win the third set, 25-22, was only a flash in the pan. In the final set, Toulouse secured the victory, 25-18.
