T71 Dudelange C, the new league leader, controlled this M-U16 Division 5 game from the first quarter and won 73-39 away at fourth-placed Mambra Mamer B. Coach Pol Becker's team built the gap early and never let the game tighten.
The opening phase was still manageable for Mamer. After trailing 0-4, they came back to 5-5, with Tom Zorz (MAMB) and Konstantinos Mazarakis (MAMB) scoring. That tie was the key turning point of the first quarter: T71C answered with a 15-4 run to close the period 20-9. Lorenzo Ethanaël Magoum (T71C) and Ivan Barbic (T71C) gave the visitors immediate scoring punch.
The second quarter pushed the game further away. T71C opened with 7 unanswered points for 27-9, and although Arda Selim Isiklar (MAMB) sparked a response with 6 straight points, T71C finished the half on a 10-2 stretch for a 37-17 advantage. At that stage, the away side had already created full control.
Mamer showed some resistance after the break. Yan Schmit (MAMB) and Mazarakis (MAMB) helped cut the rhythm for a few possessions, but Lucas Mutambayi Tshibambi (T71C) answered repeatedly, including a 3-pointer, and Barbic added another from long range. The lead reached 29 points after three quarters, 55-26.
In the last period, Isiklar was the main bright spot for Mamer. He scored 10 straight team points and finished with 20, more than half of MAMB's total. T71C still matched every push. Barbic led all scorers with 20, Magoum added 16, Mutambayi Tshibambi 14, while Ben Stork and Daris Adrovic both scored 10. T71C had five players in double figures and stretched the margin to its highest level at the end, 34 points.
