Avanti Mondorf stole a 93-84 road win at Oberanven with a ruthless closing stretch, overturning Gréngewald's late five-point cushion. GRE burst out 10-1 behind Aidan Reichert, who poured 10 of his team's first 12, and led 22-18 after Q1 and 38-37 at halftime. MON grabbed their first lead early in Q3 and entered the last period up 64-61. GRE rebuilt momentum to 79-74, but Mondorf finished on a 19-5 run: Uzziah Khalil Dawkins (26, USA) tied it at 83-83 with a three, then Joseph Daniel Reuter (22, USA) took over at the line and in the lane to push it to 90-83. MON closed it out from there.
Despite GRE's control of the glass (50-28 rebounds) and ball movement (17-5 assists), shooting told the story late. GRE hit a strong 62% on 2s but only 16% from deep (4/25), while MON were 51% inside and 24% from three. Free throws were roughly even (GRE 74%, MON 73%).
Reuter was decisive with 28 points on efficient splits (8/14 2P, 2/4 3P, 6/9 FT) plus 8 rebounds and constant pressure (8 fouls drawn). Dawkins added 27 points and 9 boards. Sven Bartholomey chipped in 12, and Foni Mertens 11. For GRE, Reichert delivered 32 points on an excellent 12/17 from two and 10 rebounds. Dayne Prim (Season PPG: 28.0, RPG: 15.45, AssPG: 3.36) posted a massive 25-point, 25-rebound double-double, going a perfect 6/6 at the line. Max Hessz (Season PPG: 11.95, RPG: 2.25, AssPG: 2.81) added 7 points and 5 assists.
Key sequence: from 83-80 GRE, MON strung together a 10-0 burst Dawkins' triple to level, then Reuter scored 8 points in short order to flip the game. In the tense finish, both Dayne Prim and Yann Bartholomey were disqualified (D2).
Mondorf are on a three-game winning roll and move to 5th. Gréngewald, despite this setback, sit 2nd. Roster note: MON dressed two pros to GRE's one, and their experience told in the final minutes. Coaches: Philip David Dejworek's late timeouts framed the turnaround; Ricky Easterling's side paid for the cold perimeter night.
