Avanti Mondorf beat Gréngewald Hueschtert 103-76 in Mondorf and climbed one place to 4th in the M-Nationale 2 Tour montée, now just one classification point behind 3rd-placed GRE. It also balanced the season head-to-head at 2-2: GRE had won both qualification games, MON has now taken both Tour montée meetings.
The game turned quickly through Uzziah Khalil Dawkins (Season PPG: 27.41). The 26-year-old American scored 19 of Mondorf's 22 first-quarter points, including three 3-pointers, and MON erased an early 2-7 deficit to lead 22-18 after 10 minutes. Early in the second quarter, Joseph Daniel Reuter (Season PPG: 23.44) pushed the gap from 22-18 to 29-18 almost by himself, and coach Philip David Dejworek's team kept control to halftime at 46-33.
GRE still had stretches through Aidan Reichert (Season PPG: 27.67), who was again productive with 27 points, and Max Frederik Hessz (Season PPG: 11.92), who matched his season high with 23. Reichert and Hessz helped cut the margin to 51-40 and then 52-42 in the third, but Mondorf answered each time. Tim Bartholomey hit all three of his 3-pointers in that quarter, while Foni Mertens (Season PPG: 7.17) added key perimeter scoring as MON won the period 27-21.
The last quarter removed suspense. MON opened it by stretching 73-54 to 79-54, then kept scoring through Dawkins and Reuter before reaching the game's largest lead at 27. Mondorf finished with 14 made 3-pointers, led by Dawkins' 38 points and Reuter's 25. Mertens added 15, Tim Bartholomey 9, and Yann Bartholomey 6.
For GRE, Reichert, Hessz and Dayne Prim (Season PPG: 27.72) carried most of the offense, but Prim was limited to 14 points and fouled out after committing three fouls in the fourth quarter.
