BBC East Side Pirates B overturned a 17-point deficit to beat AS Soleuvre C, 60-52, in a game defined by swings and late-game composure. Soleuvre blitzed the start with a 15-0 opening run and took the first quarter 17-4. They maintained control to halftime (35-20) and even stretched the gap to 37-20 early in the third, the game's highest lead.
From there BEPB flipped the script. Adomas Gavenas (27, DEU) ignited the comeback with 10 points in the third quarter as the hosts won the period 18-7 to trail only 38-42 entering the fourth. The final frame belonged to the Pirates' guards: Christophe Conter (30) hit a pair of key threes (one in Q2, one early Q4) and then calmly drained five free throws in a row amid a tense sequence that included a technical on Pit Heinz and, later, an unsportsmanlike on Soleuvre's coach Tim Geiben plus a bench technical. BEPB closed a 15-2 run to make it 60-49 before Tom Lahure's late three set the final score.
