In the final game held at the Accor Arena in Paris-Bercy, the Roca Team won the Coupe de France for the first time in its history, after a one-sided final against its great rival, LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne by 90-70 (33-15, 16-17, 25-18, 16-20).

The side coached by Sasa Obradovic crushed the match from the first moments (15-2) and largely led from the start to the end of the game.

Elie Okobo led the winning pack with 20 points and 7 assists against his former team, while Mike James added 20 points and 6 rebounds, and Donatas Motiejunas came forward with 17 points in the title-deciding game.

Nando De Colo finished the game with 12 points and 5 assists, whereas David Lighty finished the game with 10 points for ASVEL.

By dominating the reigning French champions for the fifth time in as many confrontations this season, the Monegasques also assert themselves as the big favorites in the LNB play-offs, which they will start in a month as the No.1 seed.
