Etzella Ettelbruck beat Fellbach Flash 97-82 after a game that stayed competitive for a half before turning sharply in the third quarter. The home side led 26-21 after the first period, but Fellbach had shown enough early resistance to take a brief 10-9 lead after a 10-4 response to Etzella's 5-0 start.
Coach Gavin Love's team relied early on Gordon (ETZ), who scored 12 points in the opening quarter and had Etzella's inside game under control. Fellbach stayed close through Jason (FEL), DMonte (FEL) and Dani (FEL), although Jason picked up three personal fouls in a row in the first quarter and was already in clear foul trouble. Even so, Fellbach remained within reach at 42-34 by halftime.
The decisive phase came after the break. Etzella opened the third quarter with a 10-0 push from 42-34 to 52-34, then stretched it further behind Henson (ETZ), who hit back-to-back three-pointers for six straight points and pushed the margin to 63-39. By the end of the quarter, Etzella had won it 33-17 and led 75-51. The highest lead came at 78-53 early in the fourth.
Etzella's main scorers were Gordon (ETZ) with 24, Henson (ETZ) with 22, Tim Schomer (33, 1.86m) with 13, Billy Ray Mc Daniel Jr (42, 1.96m, USA) with 13, and Marvin Delgado dos Santos (17, 1.90m) with 10. Fellbach answered through Jason (FEL) with 20 despite four fouls, plus Dani (FEL) and Jonathan (FEL) with 12 each, DMonte (FEL) with 11, and Best (FEL) with 10.
Fellbach did finish better in the last quarter, winning it 31-22, but Etzella's third-quarter roll had already settled the game's direction.
