JDA Dijon missed the opportunity to steal the 4th seed to Limoges after conceding a stinging defeat against Le Mans (90-62), they were outscored 51-27 in the second half.

Paris avoided relegation after a huge win against Metropolitans 92 (81-65). Toupane led all scorers with 18 points to secure their most important win of the season. Despite the win against Gravelines-Dunkerque (90-87), Orleans will not play in the first division next year since Fos-sur-Mer gets the win in a thrilling match against Le Portel (83-79). Deishuan Booker scored 33 points and dished out 7 dimes. He has been the major player during the last three games, scoring 29, 30 and 33 points to secure three consecutive critical wins.
