Musel Pikes C controlled Kordall Steelers B 79-60 in Stadtbredimus, building early separation, absorbing a second-quarter push, and breaking the game open after the half. The hosts raced from 5-5 to a 21-7 lead on a 16-2 burst in the first quarter, with Maximilian Tschiderer and Max Kreutz setting the tone inside and from deep. Kordall answered in the second: fuelled by Timo Tani, they pieced together a 17-4 swing to close to 43-36 at the break.
The third quarter was decisive. After Kordall trimmed it to 49-47, Coach Ries' side hammered out a 20-5 run to 69-52, sparked by Christian Heinesch's 10 points in that stretch and steady post finishes from Tschiderer. Musel peaked at a 24-point lead (79-55) late in the fourth and managed the closing minutes calmly.
Top performers Musel Pikes C: Max Kreutz (16; Season PPG: 12.44) hit three triples and added key free throws; Tschiderer (16; Season PPG: 11.43) scored eight field goals inside; Christian Heinesch (15; Season PPG: 11.78) buried two threes and punctuated the third-quarter surge; Chris Konsbruck (12; Season PPG: 10.71) was reliable in the mid-range.
Top performers Kordall Steelers B: Timo Tani (25; 24 years, 1.80m) carried the offense, striking from all three levels; Yanis Attamny (15, FRA, 20) added perimeter scoring; Ulryc Marchand (10; Season PPG: 4.50) and Michal Robert Druzds (10; Season PPG: 6.57) chipped in.
Kordall actually outscored Musel 22-17 in the second quarter and made seven threes (Musel six), but the home side's repeated runs in Q1 and Q3 decided it. No player fouled out; Druzds played on four personals. In the standings, Musel Pikes C rise to 10th (+1), while Kordall Steelers B slip to 8th (-2). For Musel, this win comes after a difficult run; Kordall have dropped back-to-back games. Coach Tani's team led briefly at 4-5, but never reclaimed control once Musel's first-wave run landed.
