BBC East Side Pirates B controlled the game against Mambra Mamer B and won 94-57. It was an important response after their previous defeat, and the success moved BEPB up two places to 4th in M-U16 Division 5: Phase 1. Mambra stayed 5th and is now on a three-game losing run.
Mambra opened the scoring, but the visitors settled quickly. After 4-4, BEPB produced a 7-0 push and kept building separation, reaching 19-8 after the opening stretch. Mambra tried to stay connected through Konstantinos Mazarakis (Season PPG: 8.50), Gregor Tomac (MAMB) and Daniel Dev Bhardwaj (MAMB), yet BEPB still carried a 40-26 lead into the break.
A key detail for coach N'Guessan Junior Pacome's side was Tomac's foul trouble. He committed four fouls in the second period, which limited Mambra's interior presence, and he later fouled out after scoring 14 points.
The decisive phase came after halftime. When Ayoub Saoudaoui (MAMB) cut the margin to 31-47 with a corrected 3-pointer, BEPB answered immediately and never allowed momentum to change. Stefan Jankovic (BEPB) was the main accelerator, scoring 20 of his 29 points in that third period. Petar Jankovic (BEPB) added 25, while 13-year-old Nicolas Nestgen (BEPB) finished with 27 and four 3-pointers. Coach Thomas Diederich EP. Kinnen's team had three players above 25 points, which made the difference clear.
For Mambra, Mazarakis led with 18 points, Tomac had 14, and Bhardwaj plus Mathieu Moccia (MAMB) each added 8. Late in the game, BEPB put together another strong burst, including 11 unanswered points from 77-51 to 88-51, and the lead peaked at 37.
