Sixth-ranked Les Sangliers Wooltz took a valuable 81-72 home win over fifth-ranked Mambra Mamer B in this return game, levelling the season head-to-head at 1-1 after the earlier 74-70 Mamer win. For Wooltz, it was also the end of a long losing run, with coach Biver's team finally turning close phases into a result.
The game opened with SAN scoring the first 4 points through Noé Salomao Raveane (Season PPG: 17.31), but MAMB reacted well. After trailing 11-7, Mamer produced a 10-0 run to move in front 17-11 and finished the first quarter ahead 21-14, with Phivos Sortikos (Season PPG: 11.56) and Arda Selim Isiklar (Season PPG: 11.61) setting the pace.
The second quarter changed the flow. Wooltz answered with an 11-0 run from 14-21 to 25-21, and Elisio Monteiro (Season PPG: 8.54) was central in that phase, scoring 7 points in a row. The half stayed tight, but SAN edged it 38-37.
The decisive stretch came after the break. From 43-41, Wooltz built separation with strong interior scoring and better rhythm. Monteiro exploded for 14 points in the third quarter alone, while Adam Ajdinovic (Season PPG: 22.41) kept adding pressure. SAN's lead reached 61-45, their highest margin at 16, and the quarter ended 65-52.
Mamer still pushed back. Sortikos scored 9 in the last quarter, Toprak Altinoklar (Season PPG: 7.67) kept attacking, and the gap was cut to 69-63. But Ajdinovic answered with two important three-pointers, restoring control for Wooltz. He finished with 30, Monteiro had 25, and Raveane added 20. For Mamer, Sortikos scored 25, Isiklar 14, Altinoklar 11, while Miguel Félix Fernandes, 15, Portuguese, added 8. Gabriel Fihey (Season PPG: 5.41) fouled out late, which hurt Mamer's short rotation.
