Musel Pikes B edged Gréngewald Hueschtert B 85-83 in Oberanven, a game that swung wildly before being settled at the line. Coach Guy Schmit's side exploded out of the blocks behind Marko Mustafic (20, 1.88m, HRV), who drilled four first-quarter triples and poured in 16 points to build a 28-18 lead. GREB steadied in the second with Luca Pividor and Robyn Schumacher getting touches inside and out, though an unsportsmanlike foul (U2) on Martin Salac didn't help the hosts. MUSB still led 54-47 at the half and stretched it to the game's largest gap at 58-47 early in the third.
Coach Nicolas Saquan Parrish's team then tightened defensively and chipped back to 61-64 after three. The fourth turned on a blistering 12-0 GREB run: Sam Urwald (19, 1.89m) twice at the rim, Mika Demuth from midrange and Pividor from deep pushed it to 75-66, GREB's biggest lead (+9). Pikes answered immediately Eric Steffen (Season PPG: 18.0) and Mustafic combined from long range and the stripe to level at 79-79.
The closing minute was tense. Demuth cashed late free throws, Schumacher tied it at 83-83 inside, but Pividor (Season PPG: 13.6) picked up two quick fouls and fouled out, giving Mustafic the window to hit the last two free throws game-winners for the visitors.
Mustafic authored a standout 41-point night (7 threes, 7 twos, 6 free throws), with Steffen adding 18 (4 threes, 4 FTs). Félix Fechter and Alexandre Frieden (9) supplied timely points. For GREB, Pividor led with 23 (five triples), while Schumacher (Season PPG: 10.7) and Urwald each netted 15, Demuth added 12 and key fourth-quarter scoring.
In the table, Musel Pikes B sit 6th (5-4) and have now won two straight; GREB are 9th (2-7), despite a third consecutive loss, moving up one spot.
