Titans took a 66-51 home win over KPMG after a game that stayed competitive for more than a quarter before swinging sharply around halftime.
Titans opened with a 5-0 start through Corentin Guissard (TIT), and they kept a small edge at 16-11 after the first period. KPMG stayed close behind Asier Ugarte (KPM), Matteo Patrizio (KPM) and Carlos Wagner (KPM), then reached 20-20 in the second quarter. That was the key turning point.
From that tie, Peter Mabic's team produced the decisive run. Titans closed the half on a 19-3 stretch, moving from 20-20 to 39-23. Guissard, Miguel Gonzalez Vargas (TIT), Stéphan Jeandey (TIT) and Liviu Rusu (TIT) all scored in that phase, while KPMG's offense slowed badly.
KPMG tried to restart after the break and cut the margin to 39-27, but Titans answered again. Jeandey then went on his own roll with 8 points in a row, pushing the score from 41-32 to 49-32 late in the third quarter. Early in the fourth, Titans reached their highest lead at 59-34.
KPMG won the last quarter 17-13, mainly through Ugarte's late scoring, but the gap was already too large. Ugarte finished with a game-high 17 points. Wagner added 9, while Marco Lupi (KPM) scored 7 and Kharthik Kumar Chellappan Ramesh (KPM) had 6; Chellappan Ramesh also picked up two consecutive third-quarter fouls during a delicate moment.
For Titans, Guissard led with 16 points, Jeandey added 12, and Barelli Raphaël (TIT) plus Gonzalez Vargas both scored 9. Titans had five players between 9 and 16 points, which gave them steady balance once they took control.
