Rebound Pr'izerdaul B (PREB) beat Black Frogs Schieren C (FROC) 62-53 in Bettborn after a steady, defense-first game under FIBA rules. The opening quarter was tight (15-15): FROC jumped 1-6, but PREB answered with a 6-0 run sparked by Welton Djon Silva do Rosario (nine points in the period).
PREB struck first after the break between quarters with a 7-0 start to Q2 (22-15). FROC replied through Noah Michels with four points in a row to close the gap, and Bob Hirt trimmed it further from the line to 29-27 at halftime.

Michels hit a late three and Hirt knocked down consecutive free throws, yet PREB managed the closing minutes without allowing a true comeback.
