JL Bourg-en-Bresse emerged victorious from a tight France Leaders Cup battle, defeating Paris Basketball 78-74 on February 21, 2026. In a low-scoring, grind-it-out affair, Bourg-en-Bresse made the crucial plays in the final minutes to secure a road win. Both teams struggled offensively at times, with defenses dictating the tempo. Paris Basketball, playing at home, kept the score close throughout, but Bourg-en-Bresse's experience in clutch situations shone through. A key three-pointer or a series of successful free throws in the closing stretch likely provided the separation needed for the four-point win. This result sent JL Bourg-en-Bresse through to the next stage of the Leaders Cup, while Paris Basketball's cup run ended at home.
