Mambra Mamer B controlled the second half to defeat Résidence Walferdange B 68-47 in Mamer. The visitors started better: after an early 11-11 tie, RESB closed the first quarter on a 10-2 run (13-21). Mamer steadied in the second period, trimming the gap to 31-34 at the break.
The game swung in the third quarter. Trailing 33-40, Mamer pieced together a 13-4 spell driven by Scharel Geimer (38) and Christophe Ney (30), with Geimer's three-pointer sparking the push and back-to-back twos putting MAMB ahead 42-40. A late reply by Emanuele Santi (49, Italy) levelled it at 44-44, but Geimer's basket for 46-44 sent Mamer into the last quarter with a narrow lead.
Coach Jannik Tuffel (45, 1.95m, Germany) saw his side break the game open with defense and quick scores: a 9-0 burst to 55-44, briefly interrupted by Santi's free throws, then an 11-0 run to 66-46.
