AB Contern B, still first in M-Division 1 after this round, imposed themselves clearly against Musel Pikes B and completed a 2-0 season sweep after the earlier 78-73 away win. Musel, now sixth and up one place despite the loss, started better: Eric Steffen (Season PPG: 14.65) and Jason Hartz (18, 1.74m) helped them to a 6-2 lead.
The game changed quickly. Contern replied with a 24-6 run to close the first quarter at 26-12, including 19 unanswered points after Musel had moved in front 12-7. Yann Besch (Season PPG: 16.67) was central in that phase, while René Wolzfeld (Season PPG: 12.18), Patrick Walravens (Season PPG: 12.20) and Christian Harr (Season PPG: 4.00) kept the pressure high.
In the second quarter, Contern stretched the gap to 38-15 and went to halftime at 48-23. Jérôme Kafer (Season PPG: 9.73) gave efficient support from the bench, and Ben Goergen (Season PPG: 12.67) added 7 points. Musel had some answers through Emmanuel Sadler (Season PPG: 8.64) and David Ferreira Gordo (20, 1.88m, PRT), but not enough to slow the home side.
The third quarter decided everything. Contern won it 26-9 and pushed the margin to 74-32, a 42-point advantage. Besch kept scoring but also accumulated fouls across three periods and finished with four. Wolzfeld finished as top scorer with 21, Besch had 20, and Contern placed four players in double figures with Walravens and Kafer on 12 each.
Musel were more productive in the last quarter. Sadler scored 12, Ferreira Gordo added 11 in only his second game, and Luca Monteiro Delgado (19, 1.95m) contributed 8. Still, Contern's control over the middle two quarters had already settled the rhythm. Musel are now on a four-game losing run.
