T71 Dudelange B controlled Mambra Mamer 77-65 in the M-U16 Division 3 (Phase 2), building the win on a strong start and a dominant fourth quarter. T71 struck first (6-2) and closed the opening period up 20-12, a quarter that also saw a bench technical on Mamer coach Arnaud Stirn. Early in Q2, captain Luka Babovic (Season PPG: 12.30) splashed a three for 27-16, but Mamer responded: Ethan Martins (Season PPG: 16.13) and Valentin Oury (Season PPG: 19.20) drove a 26-23 period for the visitors to trail only 43-38 at half. T71 coach Sandro Ceresi also received a technical in the second.
Mamer's best spell came after the break. Luka Boskovic (Season PPG: 5.33) strung together back-to-back baskets and, with a Nicolas Bos triple, the visitors surged 47-53. T71 steadied after a mid-third-quarter timeout and answered with a 7-0 run to retake the lead 56-53 entering the fourth.
The final stanza belonged to T71. Jamie Papa Müller (15 pts; Season PPG: 8.92) scored early, and Paddy Keiser (14 pts; Season PPG: 10.09) buried two key threes as T71 opened with a 7-0 burst to 63-53 and later stretched the highest lead to +15 (74-59) on a Lee Weyland triple. Babovic added timely scoring, while Sergiu Lisnicenco chipped in 10.
Mamer's push was hampered by foul trouble: Boskovic fouled out late in Q3, and captain Bos (Belgium) followed in Q4 after picking up three P2 fouls already in the first quarter. Oury led with 15, Martins had 13, and Ivan Vasiljevic (Season PPG: 9.13) added 9.
In the standings, T71 climbs to 2nd (+2), Mamer sits 3rd.
