Mambra Mamer edged Kordall Steelers 96-91 in Mamer after a true momentum swing. The visitors burst out 28-18 in the first quarter and led by as many as 16 (26-42) in the second behind the shot-making of Gianluca Pellegrino Ombroni and Andre Snoddy. Mamer trimmed it to 44-53 at the break, then flipped the game with an 11-0 run in the third to 63-63, fueled by Raphaël Muth's repeated drives and Terry L Winn III's aggression at the stripe. Tied 69-69 entering the fourth, the hosts finished stronger: Albin Azemi hit three fourth-quarter triples, including the dagger for 96-91, and Domenick Thomas Slevà added timely mid-range scores.
Efficiency told. Mamer shot 65% on 2s and 54% from three (both excellent) and 75% at the line (good). Kordall answered with 61% on 2s and 36% from deep (both good) but only 71% on free throws. Coach Darko Ristic's side shared the ball superbly (22 assists to 5) and protected it (8 turnovers vs 14), while Kordall's 13 offensive rebounds kept them in it.
