BBC BCEE overpowered Amazon 94-46 in Hamm, building the result on a ruthless start and sustained control. The hosts blasted out 15-0 before Amazon's first field goal and closed the opening period at 28-5. Pierre Hoffmann (CEE) strung together five straight free throws in that stretch, while coach Pitt Koster's group repeatedly found rhythm early through Thierry Abdiu (CEE) and Alec Goedert (CEE). Amazon called an early timeout at 4' but the momentum stayed with the hosts.
Amazon steadied in the second quarter, edging it 18-17 thanks to Balsa Knezevic (AMZ) and Francesco Cecchetto (AMZ), who also added points at the line. Halftime came at 45-23. Any hint of a comeback was extinguished after the break: BCEE's defense and transition pushed the margin to 70-32 by the end of the third, with Chris Dentzer (CEE) and Goedert (CEE) piling on.
In the fourth, Abdiu (CEE) produced a personal 6-0 run and later added a late three to cap a 31-point night. Dentzer (CEE) contributed 19, Goedert (CEE) 17, and Philippe Di Cato (CEE) 14, including back-to-back triples in the third. For Amazon, Cecchetto (AMZ) led with 14, Knezevic (AMZ) and Erik Jenchenne (AMZ) had 10 apiece, with Rodrigo Valladares- Alonso (AMZ) on 5 and Liule Yang (AMZ) on 4.
Discipline was an issue early for Amazon: Yang committed two quick personal fouls and accumulated three in the first quarter, disrupting rotations. No player fouled out. Amazon's best phase was the second period, but BCEE's advantage peaked at +48 at the final buzzer. Coach Francesco Cecchetto (AMZ) led his side on the floor and on the bench, yet BCEE's balance and early surge decided the night.
