Arantia Larochette won 115-92 in Mamer and took both league meetings against Mambra Mamer this season. The game was balanced early, with Mamer slightly in front after the first quarter, as Terry Winn III, Alan Bedirhanoglu and Maid Adrovic answered the inside work of Jonas Levickas and Tyrell Sturdivant.
The decisive stretch came in the second period. After Mamer moved to 27-23, Larochette changed rhythm quickly. Kevon Godwin (Season PPG: 22.76, RPG: 3.33, AssPG: 4.47) started the swing with five points in a row, then Michael Carter III (Season PPG: 23.05, RPG: 4.96, AssPG: 3.18) and Edson De Sousa Silva extended it. A 6-0 run turned 28-29 into 28-34, and Karolis Abramavicius' team kept control to reach 61-46 at halftime.
Larochette's offensive numbers were the key: good 69.2% on 2-pointers, good 50.0% on 3-pointers, and 30 assists. Godwin was the game MVP with 27 points and 15 assists, while Carter added 25 points with excellent 11/13 on 2-pointers. Levickas finished with 21 points, and Sturdivant scored 14. Derek Wilson and Dylan Rocha Pires gave solid support with 8 and 7 points.
Mamer tried to stay in contact through the 31-year-old American Terry Winn III (Season PPG: 21.33, RPG: 10.92, AssPG: 3.13), who delivered 32 points and 10 rebounds. Captain Domenick Sleva (Season PPG: 25.45, RPG: 14.93, AssPG: 3.10) added 21 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, although he had to manage four fouls. Mamer also had good free-throw shooting at 81.5%, but only 45.5% on 2-pointers and 34.5% on 3-pointers.
Early in the third quarter, Mamer briefly cut the gap to 13 at 52-65 after consecutive threes from Sleva and Winn, but Larochette answered again and never let the game become truly open. The visitors' highest lead reached 23 points late in the fourth quarter.
