Halftime: 28-45.
The visitors maintained control after the break. Brian O'Neill (35, France) strung together points with a free throw followed by a three, and Black Star touched their largest lead at +23 (36-59) late in the third. FOXC showed late resistance: Biver poured in three straight baskets early in the fourth for six points in a row, and Alexandre Teixeira Badois added in transition, but the gap remained.
Key contributors for Black Star: Daniel Göhlhausen (Season PPG: 12.83) led with 18, O'Neill added 14, Jo Philipps (Season PPG: 9.2) 12, and Heiderscheid hit four triples for his 12.

Joao Da Silva Moreira tried to stem the tide with first-half timeouts, but Black Star's second-quarter rhythm and perimeter accuracy decided it. The result snaps Black Star's run of four straight losses and lifts them to 6th (+3). North Fox remain winless (0-6) in 8th, still searching for a first success.
