Amicale Steesel B, now 2nd after a one-place gain, completed the season double over 4th-ranked Avanti Mondorf with an 83-55 home win. It was not a one-sided game at the start: the first quarter ended 14-14, and Mondorf even moved in front 31-28 late in the second period behind Jordan Goncalves Charpentier (Season PPG: 13.50) and captain Daniel Richartz (Season PPG: 12.67). Steesel answered well before the break and went to halftime up 35-33.
The game turned sharply after the interval. Coach Oliver Barth's team opened the third quarter with a 14-0 run, pushing the score from 35-33 to 49-33. That sequence decided the rhythm of the evening. Eleven-year-old Bulgarian Atanas Atapov (Season PPG: 15.00) was central in that stretch and finished with 16 points before fouling out in the third quarter. Noe Olmedo (Season PPG: 8.29) added a game-high 22 points, while Max Reiter (Season PPG: 5.71) scored 18 and Louis Kohn (Season PPG: 5.50) had 10.
Mondorf stayed competitive for a half and opened the fourth with four straight points to trim it to 57-44, but Steesel quickly restored control. Kohn scored 8 points in the last quarter, and Reiter added a late 3-pointer as the lead reached 30 at 83-53, the home side's highest margin.
For Mondorf, Goncalves Charpentier led with 21, Richartz had 15, Lara Muslji (Season PPG: 6.80) scored 7, and Milan Reali (Season PPG: 5.00) added 6. AMIB is now on a 3-game winning streak, while MON's losing run extends to 12 games.
