BC Mess beat Musel Pikes 82-64 and stayed 4th in M-U16 Division 2: Phase 1 at 2-1. Musel remained without a win at 0-3, even if the team moved up one place to 5th. Mess now has two wins in a row, while Musel is on a three-game losing streak.
Musel had the better start and built the first momentum of the game. Jack Kemmer (MUS) and Olivier Siebenaler (MUS) led that phase, and the visitors were still in front 24-18 early in the next period. Mess then changed the rhythm completely with a 17-2 run to 35-26. 14-year-old Fabio Freymann (MES) was central in that swing, with Noa Priso Dikoume (MES) and Théo Bakija (MES) also giving strong support.
After the break, Musel came back well. Pit Fischer (MUS), Kemmer and Siebenaler helped level the score at 41-41 and 43-43. Later, Siebenaler's free throws pushed Musel back in front at 57-56, so the game was still very open.
That was the crucial moment. Mess reacted immediately and finished much stronger. Eli Nosbusch (Season PPG: 14.00) scored repeatedly around the basket, Roan Musquar (Season PPG: 11.80) added key points, and Freymann took over late. From 56-57, Mess closed the game on a 26-7 run and reached its highest lead at 18 points.
Freymann finished with a game-high 24 points, matching his season maximum. Musquar added 12, while Nosbusch and Priso Dikoume each had 10. For Musel, Kemmer scored 23, Siebenaler 20 and Fischer 13.
