PREB started better (0-4) and led 9-13 after the first. The game turned in the second quarter: MAMC closed the half on an 11-0 run to 32-24, a sequence ignited around an unsportsmanlike foul assessed to Datan Oliveira Mendes. After the break, JeanLuc Pedro Batista exploded with three consecutive triples (a personal 9-0) to swing it to 32-35 and, with another basket, extend a PREB 11-0 spurt. Mamer steadied through Tom Kayser's three, then efficient inside work by Cédric Bellot and Federico Burcovich to restore a 48-44 lead after three.
The fourth quarter was one-way. Bellot opened with back-to-back twos, Charles Kremer added a three, and Tristan Andrea Raimondo Rupil (MAMC) poured in 8 points in quick succession (3-2-3) to make it 69-50, the night's biggest gap. PREB's Alain Wiseler later fouled out; an unsportsmanlike foul on him closed a difficult finish for the visitors. Coach Gildas Le Clerc's side won the last period 23-8.
