Paris, November 8 (telebasket.com) - Another loss for Pau, this time at home against Buducnost (ranked 0-4 before coming to Pau) thanks to a Rakocevic's buzzer shoot from the middle of the court (87-90).
There's nothing much to say about this game which wasn't of a really high level. The gap between the 2 teams was never high (despite a 5-18 at the beginning of 1st half). Pau should have won this game provided their defense had been present which wasn't the case. Pau's coach was furious against his players who never applied his orders.
