Arantia Larochette B, now 3rd after a gain of two places, stopped a two-game losing run with a clear 95-60 home win over 5th-ranked Mambra Mamer B, who are now on a three-game losing streak.
The game turned quickly. Arantia opened 8-0 and then 12-2 before Christian Frick used an early timeout for Mamer. The visitors answered through Konstantinos Nastos (Season PPG: 6.50), Benett Kayser (Season PPG: 5.20) and Leonardo Comodi Ballanti (MAMB), cutting the gap to 16-12, but Arantia closed the first quarter on a 5-0 push for 21-12.
The second period was the first major break. Mamer stayed in touch for a while, but Nicolas Schaefers' team built control with Samuel Schmit (Season PPG: 11.29), Neo Klein (Season PPG: 9.14) and Maxime Toussaint (Season PPG: 9.33). From 33-23, Arantia finished the half on a 13-2 run to reach 46-25.
Mamer tried to respond after the break and got as close as 57-36, yet that was followed by Arantia's strongest stretch. After a timeout, the home side produced a 15-2 run to 72-38. Pablo Matias (Season PPG: 5.29) scored 5 points in a row in that sequence, while Toussaint kept attacking the paint.
Toussaint led all Arantia scorers with 23, tying his season high. Schmit added 22, also equalling his season best. Klein had 14 and Ruben Silva (Season PPG: 8.14) finished with 10. For Mamer, Comodi Ballanti scored 21 despite early foul trouble, Nastos added 14 and Kayser reached 10.
In the fourth quarter Arantia extended the lead to its maximum at 84-45, a 39-point margin, before Mamer found a short 9-2 reply. Theo Brunetti (ARAB) added 4 late points, and Arantia still had enough control to keep the margin well above 30 entering the final minutes.
