The long-time EuroLeague A license holder lost with a score of 78-82 and promptly exited the competition in the quarterfinals.

Throughout the game, neither team built a very solid lead to bring about an early finish. ASVEL was outscored in the second, third, and fourth quarters after having an 8-point advantage in the first 10 minutes.

Nanterre's main scorer was Ibrahima Faye, who had 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 assist. He was helped by Justin Bibbins and Desi Rodriguez, who had 14 points each.

For the losing effort, Joffrey Lauvergne was effective, contributing 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 1 assist, while Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Mike Scott had 11 points and 10 points, respectively.

Before Nanterre's victory, Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse defeated Sluc Basket Nancy with a score of 109-79 in another quarterfinal match-up. For the rest of tonight's games, AS Monaco will face off against Le Mans, while Paris Basketball will battle Saint-Quentin.
