Etzella Ettelbruck controlled this Phase finale return game against Entente RES AMI and won 87-66, but the gap was built progressively. ERA started well: Riley Wohl scored first and Tim Geisen hit two early threes for an 8-4 lead. ETZ settled through Marvin Delgado dos Santos, Noah Wolter and Charel Wilmes, then closed the first quarter in front, 16-14.
The second period was still competitive for a while. After ERA stayed close at 28-24, coach Nelson Delgado's team produced the first major break with 10 unanswered points to reach 38-24. ERA reacted behind Noah Terence Stansbury Daleiden (Season PPG: 19.44), who put together 10 straight points for his team and cut the deficit to 42-34. Even so, ETZ carried a solid 44-36 advantage into halftime.
The game turned clearly in the third quarter. ETZ opened the half with an 8-1 sequence and later followed with 9 consecutive points, stretching the score from 49-37 to 58-37. That was the decisive phase of the night. ERA never got the margin back to single digits, and ETZ reached its highest lead at 24 points, first at 77-53 and again at 79-55 in the fourth quarter.
Delgado dos Santos, 16, finished with 30 points despite early foul trouble and again gave ETZ a strong offensive anchor. Lenny Lopes Morais, a 17-year-old 1.85m guard, added 23, captain Wolter had 13, and Wilmes scored 11. For coach Thorsten Freiheit's side, Stansbury Daleiden led the way with 27, Alissoutin added 16, and Geisen's 6 points all came from three-point range in ERA's good opening stretch.
ETZ won the third meeting between the teams this season and took the head-to-head 2-1.
