Black Frogs Schieren handled North Fox 80-56 in Reuler in M-Nationale 2, breaking the game open with a dominant second quarter. After a 25-14 start, Schieren opened the second with a 7-0 burst and then closed the half on a 17-0 run to lead 49-19, their largest margin (+30). North Fox responded after the break: Jacob Salinero strung together four straight points early in the third and, with Charel Linden's perimeter punch, the hosts took the second half 37-31, but the gap built before halftime proved decisive. An unsportmanlike (U2) on Alexandre Pereira Meireles early in Q3 did not change the balance.
Efficiency told. Schieren shot well inside (22/35 twos, 62.9%) and from deep (10/28 threes, 35.7%) both in the good range while North Fox struggled at 17/45 twos (37.8%), 4/24 threes (16.7%) and 10/22 at the line (45%). Black Frogs also controlled the glass 46-36 and doubled Fox in assists (11-5).
Gabriel Solomon (16 pts, 5/7 3PT; Season % 1P: 88.46, 2P: 47.83, 3P: 54.67) and Eric Christopher Anderson (15 pts, 7 reb; 2.00m, 26, USA; Season PPG: 20.65, RPG: 9.84, AssPG: 1.16) led the visitors. Khyree Terell Armstead (9 pts; Season PPG: 16.88, RPG: 7.95, AssPG: 3.75) added pace, and Pereira Meireles (6 pts, 12 reb; Season PPG: 8.16, RPG: 5.14, AssPG: 0.91) earned game MVP for his all-around impact. For North Fox, Salinero (24 pts; Season % 1P: 75.0, 2P: 52.94) and captain-coach Charel Linden (19 pts; Season PPG: 17.58, RPG: 6.11, AssPG: 3.78) drove the second-half reaction, while Jona Hanf (2 pts, 12 reb, 3 blk; 2.04m, 22, BEL; Season PPG: 10.18, RPG: 10.80, AssPG: 0.60) battled on the boards.
Context matters in N2: Schieren dressed two professionals to Fox's one. In the standings, Black Frogs climb to 3rd (14-5, +1) and extend their winning streak to seven. North Fox are 9th (1-18) under player-coach Charel Linden.
