M-Nationale 2, Reuler Gréngewald Hueschtert dismantled North Fox 119-69, dictating pace from the opening quarter and never looking back. After FOX briefly led 9-6, GRE strung together a 14-0 run sparked by back-to-back triples from Max Frederik Hessz, closing Q1 at 16-33. The gap widened before halftime (32-64), and a 30-7 burst across the third fueled by Aidan Reichert (22, USA) and Dayne Prim (USA) pushed the score to 47-101 after 30 minutes, with the highest lead peaking at 54.
GRE's efficiency told: 57% on 2s and 48% from three (team good in both). Prim was dominant and earned MVP (42): 34 points on an excellent 8/8 inside and 45% from three, with 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Reichert added 33 (excellent 4/6 from deep). Among the supporting cast, Patrick Hoffmann chipped in 13 with excellent 6/6 FT, and Hessz hit an excellent 3/4 from three for 11. Youth also weighed in: Luca Pividor (18) had 6, Mika Demuth (18) added 6. GRE finished with 20 assists.
FOX struggled to convert (46% 2P, 24% 3P, 61% FT). Jona Hanf (11) was efficient (3/4 2P, excellent 1/1 3P), Stephane Banga (11) worked the line but later fouled out, Tom Uding scored 12, and Loic Alphonse Jacoby had 10 (6/8 FT) before an unsportsmanlike foul (U2) late. Captain Charel Linden (Season PPG: 15.6, RPG: 5.93, AssPG: 3.47) fouled out in the fourth, as early foul trouble undercut FOX's backcourt. Bench technicals (B1) were assessed to both coaches Ricky Easterling (GRE) in Q3 and Charel Linden (FOX) in Q4.
GRE fielded two professionals; FOX had none. In the table, Gréngewald climbs to 4th (+1) and is on a five-game winning streak. North Fox stays 9th, now on five straight losses.
