BC Mess B beat Mambra Mamer B 70-57 in Mondercange and stopped a two-game losing run. The win also pushed MESB up five places to 3rd in M-Division 1, while MAMB, now on a two-game skid, stands 4th.
The game started in Mamer B's favour. After MESB opened 3-0, MAMB answered well and turned 6-3 into 16-8, controlling the first quarter 16-10. Maximilien Tresson (26, MAMB) and Jannik Tuffel (46, 1.95m, MAMB) gave the visitors early rhythm, with Dave Rischette (32, MAMB) also adding quick scoring.
MAMB still looked in command in the second quarter and reached its biggest lead at 23-14. BC Mess B stayed close, mainly through Sven Biever (30, MESB) and Fabbrie Gauthier (MESB). Biever was especially important before halftime: he scored 7 straight MESB points to bring the home side back from 24-29 to 31-31. Even so, MAMB kept a narrow 34-33 lead at the break.
The turning point came in the third quarter. After MAMB led 36-35, Biever produced 5 consecutive points to swing the score to 38-36. Mamer B briefly answered through Tresson and Damien Rupil (39, 1.87m, MAMB), but MESB then finished the period much better and won it 17-9 for a 50-43 lead.
That momentum carried into the last quarter. From 54-47, BC Mess B went on a decisive 14-3 run to open the biggest gap of the night at 68-50. Maxime Sunnen (29, MESB) hit two major three-pointers in that stretch, while Biever and Gauthier kept the pressure on. MAMB had a late response to cut it to 68-57, but François Villain (41, MESB) closed the scoring.
Top scorers were Biever with 22 and Gauthier with 16 for MESB, while Tuffel had 16 for MAMB. Rischette and Tresson added 8 each for the visitors.
