Amazon (AMZ) overpowered Aztec Financial (AZT) 92-36 in the Bascol Coupe eliminations in Clausen, imposing control from the opening tip and stretching the gap in every quarter (25-9, 28-6, 21-12, 18-9).
AMZ set the tone with a 5-0 start, then blew the game open with a 12-0 burst to 22-4 in the first. Coach Coghetto's early rotation paid off: Luke Feldman (AMZ) and Bruno Didier Monfils (AMZ) came in and both hit from deep, while Fabrizio Merlo (AMZ) closed the period with a triple for 25-9. The second quarter began with an 8-0 push to 33-9 and turned into a decisive stretch as captain Mattia Coghetto (AMZ) dominated the frame, mixing two triples with repeated finishes at the rim. Halftime arrived at 53-15.
AZT found a brief spark after the break Krzysztof Radzimski (AZT) converted four free throws and added a couple of field goals but AMZ responded with the game's defining sequence: a 21-0 run spanning late third and early fourth turning 27-59 into 80-27. In the final minutes, Radzimski scored AZT's last seven points, including a three, but the margin peaked at 56 by the buzzer.
AMZ's balance stood out: Coghetto (AMZ) led with 28 points, supported by Merlo (AMZ) 17, Erik Jenchenne (AMZ) 14, Feldman (AMZ) 12, and Monfils (AMZ) 11, with Yang Liule (AMZ) adding 6. For AZT, Radzimski (AZT) had 15, Michalis Zournatzis (AZT) 10, Pedro Fontes (AZT) 7, while captain Ioannis Maroudas (AZT) and Ricardo Galoso (AZT) scored 2 each.
Discipline stayed under control on both sides no disqualifications and no player fouling out though AZT's Zournatzis picked up three personals early. Coach Chatzimousi's timeout at 2-10 briefly slowed AMZ, but the visitors quickly reasserted momentum and never let up.
