Etzella Ettelbruck B overpowered Gréngewald Hueschtert B, 90-49, in Oberanven after breaking the game open around halftime. The visitors led 19-14 after the first quarter, but GREB briefly flipped momentum in the second behind Luca Pividor (Season PPG: 15.30): he buried back-to-back threes to push the hosts ahead 27-24. Coach Gavin Love's team answered immediately, closing the half on a 9-0 run for 33-27 and then detonating a 0-23 burst bridging the break to 27-47. From there, Etzella controlled the third (28-11) and fourth (29-11), the lead peaking at +41 at the buzzer.
Etzella did their damage inside: 35 made 2-pointers (70 points), complemented by 8 free throws and just four triples. Captain Sam Schaaf (Season PPG: 16.71; 1.92m) led with 25, navigating four fouls without fouling out. Lou Clees (Season PPG: 12.83) added 24, scoring repeatedly during the decisive third quarter, while José Miguel Domingos Sanches (Season PPG: 16.90; 1.76m) chipped in 15 and a pair of momentum-threes. Twenty-year-old Hakim Baba (ITA) contributed 10.
For GREB, Pividor (18, 1.78m) was the bright spot with 22 points, including six triples, sparking the second-quarter surge. Gréngewald found a brief 8-0 reply in the third, but Etzella's interior pressure and depth quickly reasserted control. Early foul trouble didn't help the hosts Maxime Peffer picked up two quick personals in the first half while Etzella avoided costly whistles and kept their main scorers on the floor.
In the table, Etzella climbs to 8th (+1) in MDivision 1, while Gréngewald sits 9th (+1). Coach Ricky Easterling's side will look to turn Pividor's shooting into more sustained stretches; Etzella's balance and rim-first approach were the clear separator.
