Avanti Mondorf took control of this friendly with a strong first half and then finished it with a dominant last quarter, beating BC Mess 96-61 at Mondercan.
Coach François Manti's team led 26-15 after the opening period and 48-32 at halftime. Mondorf already showed its offensive rhythm early, with Bradley Bunch (MON) scoring eight points in a row in the first quarter. Terrence Ringo (MON) and Nils Schroeder (21, 1.90m) gave steady support, and the visitors regularly punished Mess's defensive lapses.
BC Mess reacted well after the break. Stéphane Frentzel's side won the third quarter 25-15 and cut the deficit from 16 down to 4 at 57-61. Luke Davis (MES) was the main force in that comeback, while Keishon Porter (MES) stayed productive around the basket and at the line. Baptiste Levi also hit an important three during that stretch. The disqualifying foul against Porter in the third quarter mattered, as Mess lost one of its two main scorers in its best phase of the game.
From there, Mondorf completely changed the pace again. The visitors closed on a 35-4 run from 57-61 and won the fourth quarter 33-4. Bunch led the way with 33 points, including six 3-pointers, Ringo added 24, and Schroeder finished with 14. Sven Bartholomey (30, 1.86m) also helped stretch the margin late with consecutive threes.
For Mess, Davis scored 23 and Porter 22 despite his shortened evening. Edvaldo Moreira Cardoso (23, 1.85m, PRT) added 5. Mondorf's long-range edge was clear, with 11 made threes against 3 for Mess, and the visitors' biggest lead reached 35 points at the end.
