Second-placed Mambra Mamer B opened the championship round with a 74-60 road win at fifth-placed Gréngewald Hueschtert B after taking control from the second quarter onward.
GREB started better and led 18-14 after 10 minutes. Raik Steyer (18, 1.89m) and Dorian Scheltien (21, 1.88m) set the tone early, and the home side built a 15-6 advantage in the first period. The game turned in the second quarter. Coach Florian Reinke's team produced a 21-8 quarter, erased the deficit at 18-18, then closed the half in front 35-26.
That momentum continued after the break. MAMB stretched the lead to 37-26, completing a 12-1 run over the quarter break. Maximilien Tresson (26) was the main driver, while Scharel Geimer (39) added scoring stability. GREB responded through Scheltien and Steyer and reduced the gap to 47-44 late in the third, but Mamer answered again and entered the last quarter up 54-44.
The home team made one more push at 54-49 early in the fourth, yet MAMB stayed composed. Jannik Tuffel (46, 1.95m) scored six fourth-quarter points, mostly from the line, and Tresson kept finishing inside as the visitors pushed the margin to a game-high 14 points.
Tresson led all scorers with 26 points, Geimer added 17, while Tuffel and Christophe Ney (31) had 10 each. For GREB, Steyer scored 20 and Scheltien 17, with James Olav Glorvigen (17) contributing 6. Mamer had four double-figure scorers and won despite GREB's strong opening spell.
