For the 20th day of LFB, the Gazelles logically won against Tarbes (82-58), with the attendance record in the Women's Basketball League at stake.

A won over audience. The 8,069 spectators, a new record for a women's basketball club in France, did not come for nothing. As a reward for their trip, spectators at the Arena Sud de France were able to see a great victory for the BLMA against Tarbes (82-58).

The organization of the event was meticulous and the Gazelles' match on the field was of the same order. Aggression on both sides of the floor and great shooting success, particularly at 3 points (52.4%). Supported by its executives, Lattes-Montpellier put in a solid match without giving the Tarbaises a chance.

Opposite, the Hautes-Pyrénées team did not find the key to the Lat defense by scoring only 58 points. 

A success which allows the BLMA to overtake Lyon and move to 4th. An opponent that Lattes-Montpellier could find in the first round of the play-offs, with home advantage or not.
