Rebound Préizerdaul B won a close one against Mambra Mamer C, 56-51, in a direct duel between the teams now ranked 6th and 7th in M-Division 4. PREB also answered the earlier 71-52 loss from the first meeting and is now on a two-game winning run.
The game stayed level early at 11-11, but PREB built the key margin in the second quarter. Aaron Legg (Season PPG: 12.11) and Devin Alves Neves (24, PRT) drove a strong stretch that turned 11-11 into 27-14, the biggest lead of the evening. That sequence gave Marc Mannes' side control, and PREB went into halftime ahead 29-20.
MAMC reacted well. The visitors cut the gap during the third quarter and then opened the fourth with an 8-0 run, moving from 42-35 to 42-40. Julien Marage scored the first 3 points of that push, but his foul-out shortly after at 44-41 was significant in such a tight finish.
Cédric Pierre Louis Bellot (39, FRA) carried Mamer's late offense. He finished with 20 points and scored 6 in a row in the fourth quarter, helping MAMC close to 51-47 and later 54-51. Charles Kremer (Season PPG: 7.36) added 11 points, while Federico Burcovich (Season PPG: 15.67) had 6.
PREB stayed calmer in the decisive moments. Legg matched his season high with 22 points, Alves Neves added 15, and Jérôme Wolff (Season PPG: 5.50) converted the last 2 points from the line for the final 56-51 margin.
