The second quarter brought the first break: Wolzfeld opened with five straight points, and together with Yann Besch pushed a 0-9 burst to 19-33. GREB answered through Axel Ulrich Olafsson from deep and a Luca Pividor three, trimming it to 38-47 at halftime.

Pividor tried to spark a late push in the fourth with a string of twos, but Patrick Walravens, Ben Goergen and Christophe Manuel Torres dos Santos closed it out.
Wolzfeld authored a standout 35-point night, burying seven triples (Season PPG: 11.36). Besch added 18 (Season PPG: 15.67), and Mertzig's composure at the stripe proved useful.
