Top-ranked BBC Dikrich, coached by Laszlo Jozsef Hartl, stayed unbeaten in the final phase at 7-0 with a clear 76-33 road win over third-placed Nitia Bettembourg. It also gave Dikrich the season sweep after the earlier 74-66 win.
The start was balanced. Bettembourg were in front 7-6 after the first quarter, with David Goncalves Maricato (Season PPG: 5.30) and Gabriel Berteloot (Season PPG: 6.13) helping NIT keep control of the rhythm early on.
The break came in the second period. NIT moved 11-8 ahead, but Dikrich answered with a 10-0 run and, more broadly, a 24-4 stretch to take a 32-15 halftime lead. Captain Farih Nurkovic (Season PPG: 36.67) drove that momentum, scoring again and again around the basket and reaching 18 points by the interval.
Bettembourg, under coach Qassim Sahraoui, reacted better after the break. The third quarter finished 16-16, with Goncalves Maricato ending as NIT's top scorer on 10 points, Halil Yalcin (Season PPG: 5.80) adding 7, and Mathis Brochier (Season PPG: 9.08) plus Berteloot each scoring 6.
Dikrich then finished with a very one-sided fourth quarter, 28-2. After 33-52, the visitors closed the game on 24 unanswered points, which became the highest lead of the evening at 43. Nurkovic finished with 36 points, while Gustavo Alexandre Ferreira Rebelo (Season PPG: 15.00) and Mimballa Erwan-Scott Owoutou Monty (16, FRA) added 12 each; Owoutou Monty also had three personal fouls in a row in the first quarter before remaining productive later. Lou Tock (Season PPG: 8.40) contributed 8. Dikrich are now on an 11-game winning run.
