The break proved decisive. Midway through the third, with Mondorf back to 27-31, Racing delivered a 19-0 run that blew the game open to 27-50. Jules Ollivier (Season PPG: 7.14) and Nick Wallers (Season PPG: 16.33) spaced the floor Wallers hit two threes in that stretch while Luca Schmit (Season PPG: 8.14) added driving finishes.

Daniel Mihaylov (Season PPG: 7.67) had 11, equaling his season best, and Clément Channen (Season PPG: 13.00) added 6. Coach Nebojsa Nikolic's side had brief momentum before the long third-quarter drought proved costly.
