Gréngewald Hueschtert B opened Phase 1 with a clear 71-23 home win over Nitia Bettembourg B and moved into 1st place, while NITB started 4th after game 1.
Game evolution was decisive very early. GREB led 4-0, but NITB stayed close at 4-3, 10-5 and 14-9, mainly through Tim Dong (NITB), who scored his team's first 13 points and kept the visitors in contact. The home side then raised the pace again: Gauthier Kristiansen (GREB) put together a strong scoring stretch around the 17-9 to 21-11 phase, and Liam Ruppert (GREB) followed with 6 straight points to lift the score from 21-13 to 27-13.
The key break came later. After GREB had built a 35-17 edge, they went on a 12-0 run to 47-17. Peer Konsbruck (GREB) was at the center of that surge and finished as the game's top scorer with 25 points. GREB kept control from there, pushing the lead to 60-21, then closing on another 11-0 burst for the final 48-point margin, their highest lead of the game.
GREB had four clear offensive leaders: Konsbruck (GREB) 25 points, Kristiansen (GREB) 17, Ruppert (GREB) 17 and Sam Richardy (GREB) 8. Kristiansen, a 12-year-old starter, also picked up two personal fouls late in the period, but it did not change the flow. For NITB, Dong (NITB) stood out with 13 points, while Kaï Josselin (NITB), Aidan Antony (NITB), Maïlo Mota da Luz (NITB), Mohamed Djalo (NITB) and Léo Cridlig (NITB) added support.
Coach Bojan Eric's team controlled the scoreboard for almost the entire game and turned a competitive opening sequence into a one-sided result with repeated scoring runs.
