North Fox C controlled most of this M-Division 4 game in Reuler and beat Rebound Préizerdaul B 71-45, a result that lifts FOXC to 2nd place with a second straight win. PREB, now 6th, stayed competitive for a while but could not match the home side's scoring depth.
The opening quarter was tight at 13-9. PREB's best moment came at the start of the second period, when Naldino Santos Ramos (35) and Elmir Pjevic (16) brought the visitors back to 13-14. That was the key warning for Joao Da Silva Moreira's team. FOXC answered with a strong stretch to halftime, building a 39-23 lead. Michael Domingues Rocha (35) was central in that phase, scoring 20 points overall and putting together two important bursts in the second quarter, first with three consecutive baskets and later with back-to-back three-pointers.
After the break, Marc Mannes' side had its best scoring quarter and edged the third 17-16, mainly through Christian Mafuta (31), who finished with 19 points, and Nathan Varela (16), who hit 3 triples for 9 points. But FOXC never let the margin become dangerous. Nico Biren (29, 1.87m) added 13 points, Alexis Sia Vanhems (22, 1.94m) scored 11, and Pablo Oliver Asama Bindang (25, ESP) gave solid support with 7.
The fourth quarter settled the game completely. FOXC closed on a 16-5 period and reached its highest lead at the final buzzer. PREB had 19 from Mafuta, 10 from Pjevic and 9 from Varela, but no other player scored more than 7.
