Darko Ristic's team opened with an 8-0 run, with Landon Seaman (AMI) immediately setting the tone near the basket.

RPP briefly reduced the margin to 55-33 early in the third, but that was the last real reaction from Justin Jordan's side. Amicale answered with a 13-0 run to 68-33 and broke the game open. Alex Laurent (33, 1.98m) was very efficient inside, Scott Morton (39, 1.96m) added support, and Amicale's depth kept the tempo high. The lead was already 81-39 after three quarters and grew to a maximum of 60.
Phipps led Amicale with 23 points and four 3-pointers. Seaman added 15, Antoine Medeot (24, 1.92m) scored 13, while Jules Reuter (18), Laurent and Noah Terence Stansbury Daleiden (18) all finished with 12. For RPP, Barry ez and captain Sean Burno both scored 14, Meclenmore Domm had 8, and Knight added 7.
