Arantia Larochette B controlled the final stretch to beat Rebound Préizerdaul 82-71 in Larochette, staying atop the MNationale 3 standings (30). After 15-13 in the first quarter and a strong second frame (28-25) for a 43-38 halftime lead, Arantia saw Préizerdaul rally in the third. With Jamal Wilson (32, 2.00m) and Olivier Pierre Marie Braun (38) productive inside and Zachary Legg (24) adding perimeter scoring, the guests forced 57-57 after three. Early in the fourth, a three by Jérôme Wolff (34) even put Préizerdaul up 57-60.
The game flipped on a sequence sparked by an unsportsmanlike foul on Wolff. Malik Wilson (30, 1.85m) strung together free throws and a bucket to edge Arantia ahead; Pedro Nunes Jordão (37, 1.82m, PRT) drilled a key three (67-62), and Luc Kirpach (34, 1.88m) followed with a timely triple plus two consecutive free throws. That 14-1 run stretched it to 74-63. In the closing minutes, Dylan Rocha Pires (30, 1.88m) added back-to-back baskets for the night's largest lead (+15 at 82-67) before the 82-71 final.
Numbers underline the difference: Arantia made 15 free throws to Préizerdaul's 3 (7 threes vs 6; twos 23 vs 25). For the leaders, Malik Wilson poured in 24, Donovan Delhommais (24, 1.86m) 18, Rocha Pires 15, Nunes Jordão 11, and Sam Brosius (19) 9. For Préizerdaul, Jamal Wilson led with 17, Braun had 13, Mathis Weyrich (32) 10, Aaron Legg (20) 8, and Zachary Legg 9 (including a three).
Coach Pedro Nunes Jordão's group remains unbeaten (three wins in a row), while coach Mike Weyer's side moves to 11 and sits fifth. No player fouled out, though Préizerdaul's fourthquarter fouls came in a row at costly moments.
