Mambra Mamer edged Musel Pikes 86-84 in Stadtbredimus, closing a tight finish with the last four points of the night. The visitors blasted out 4-22 in the first quarter (+18), fueled by Maid Adrovic's personal 7-point burst, and led 16-29 after 10 minutes. Musel gradually reeled them in, then flipped the game with a 24-13 third quarter: Sam Streef's four-point sequence put the hosts ahead 63-62, their first lead since the start.
The fourth quarter swung repeatedly. Jaylen Alexander Key (28, 2.01m, USA) strung together five points to build a 76-72 cushion, but Mamer answered. In the final minute, with Musel up 84-82, Alan Bedirhanoglu tied it and Domenick Thomas Sleva hit the decisive basket for 84-86. Tristin Walley (Season PPG: 17.23, RPG: 10.65, AssPG: 4.35) had 14 points and 5/5 FT but fouled out late, a blow for Guy Schmit's side.
Numbers framed the story: both teams were efficient inside (MUS 53% 2P; MAM 55% 2P), while long-range rhythm favored Mamer (35% 3P vs 29%). Free throws hurt both (MAM 64%, MUS 71%). Darko Ristic's team owned the offensive glass (15-9) to offset 17 turnovers, whereas Musel shared the ball better (23 assists to 16).
