Author of 21 points, Bilal Coulibaly led Washington to victory against Toronto (138-117) on the night of Friday to Saturday. The Frenchman produced his best copy since the start of the season.
Weighed down by injuries since the start of the season to the abdomen and then to the ankle, Bilal Coulibaly was finally able to put his best foot forward, on the night from Friday to Saturday, during the victory of his team, Washington, at home against Toronto (138-117). Thanks to 21 points scored, the Wizards winger achieved the best performance of his season. Despite a success at half-mast at three points with a 1/4, the Olympic vice-champion with the French team during the last Olympic Games in Paris in 2024, was able to compensate thanks to a great two-point address and a reinforced presence in the Raptors racket.
7th in the draft in 2023, Bilal Coulibaly is regaining rhythm and importance in Washington’s starting five, he who will have the possibility of extending at the end of the season: “He is finding his rhythm again, he has done a lot of back and forth with the infirmary in recent weeks… It is in line with what he showed last season”, welcomed his coach, Brian Keefe, in comments relayed by the media BeBakset.
Sarr also showed up
Another Frenchman present in the franchise from the American capital, Alexandre Sarr performed very well with 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 blocks in just 23 minutes of play on the floor. Note that three other French people were present on the floor last night. Winners with Charlotte against Orlando (120-105), Moussa Diabaté and Tidjane Salaün delivered two great performances. The first achieved a double-double with 10 points, 13 rebounds and 1 block while the second scored 14 times with 8 rebounds and 1 assist.
Almost three weeks with his best career performance and his 21 points scored, Salaün, who was close to achieving the double-double, is showing himself more and more. On the other hand, Noah Penda missed out. The Magic player did not score and made 0 of 3 threes in just 11 minutes of play.
