Two games were played on Friday night in the French league. The leaders grounded out a tough win in Paris 90-87 despite 30 points from Lamont Hamilton and will stay top of the league no matter what will happen on Saturday. Vule Avdalovic led the scorers for the champions with 21 points, Sammy Mejia added 19, while Diarra and Robinson chipped in 14 each. Road warrior win for Poitiers too, which escaped from Pau with a crucial 76-73 victory that gives them some breathing air and a two-game advantage on Vichy and Limoges at the bottom. Rasheed Wright, Evan Fournier and Antonio Grant shared the scoring load with 13 apiece.
