Mambra Mamer controlled the second half and beat North Fox 77-60 after a game that stayed competitive for more than 25 minutes.
FOX started better and moved from 4-7 to 13-7 with a 9-0 run, driven by Noryen Lasley (18) and Melvin Tobar (14). Mamer stayed attached almost entirely through Terry L Winn III (35, 1.99m, USA), who scored all 16 home points in the first quarter. That kept the gap minimal at 16-17.
At the start of the second period, Winn added six straight points for a 22-17 lead, but FOX answered again. Charel Linden (19, 1.85m), Lasley and Tobar helped the visitors edge back in front at 25-24. Mamer then finished the half better and went to the break up 34-31, with Winn already on 28 points.
The key moment came in the third quarter. FOX turned 31-36 into 37-36, but Mamer reacted immediately. Gianluca Pellegrino Ombroni (23, 1.91m, ESP) scored eight points in the period, including back-to-back threes that pushed the home side back in front. From that 36-37 score, Mamer closed the quarter on a 19-9 sequence to reach 55-46.
In the last quarter, coach Dragan Stipanovic's team kept the tempo under control. Alan Bedirhanoglu (12, 1.93m, SWE) gave valuable scoring support, and Mamer stretched the margin from 64-54 to 75-58. The final gap of 17 was the game's highest lead.
For FOX, Linden, Lasley and Tobar carried most of the offense, but Lasley fouled out in the fourth quarter. The clearest statistical edge came from long range: Mamer made 10 three-pointers, FOX 4.
