BASB briefly led 5-4, but that was the only real moment of balance. BSMB answered with a 12-0 run, mainly through Ben Hilges (BSMB) and Pol Rodesch (BSMB), and that changed the tone of the evening. The home side closed the opening quarter with a strong 26-9 margin.
The visitors reacted in the second quarter. Luigi Garofoli (BASB) scored 11 BASB points in a row during the period, helping cut the gap from 30-9 to 34-23. BASB won the quarter 21-14 and were still in contact at halftime, down 40-30.

That stretch effectively settled the game. The hosts won the third quarter 31-12 and opened the last period with another 9-0 push to 80-42. The highest lead reached 44 points at the final buzzer.
Hilges led BSMB with 29 points, including six three-pointers. Rodesch added 26, and Franco finished with 16. Erik Daling (36, 1.94m, NLD) gave 6 points and presence near the basket. For BASB, Noé Bovery (BASB) scored 16, Garofoli added 13, and Chris Jay Reding (BASB) contributed 7.
