After a long wait, the final game of the season was played on Thursday with the championship on the line. Top seed Lyon hosted and used that advantage to build an early lead, coasting to a 75-61 win. After coming under new ownership, the club had ambitions to build themselves into a powerhouse in the country like their brother team and it ended up happening a bit ahead of schedule with a trophy to show for it. Lattes Montpellier fell at the final hurdle despite a brave fight, but they too will be thinking about their return to title challengers in the league after falling back for a few seasons.
