Obviously, it was not to the taste of the visitors who ended the first quarter like a cannonball. But Materne continued his performance with two bombs followed by 5 shots to put the locals back in control while Dibenedetto’s 2nd bomb allowed them to lead 49-44.
With 6 points from X Penneman, the visitors led immediately from the locker room (53-55). Without Materne’s points, Hannutois would see Palazy restart the engine and Tiquet’s bomb would keep the gap to 4 units. Although Dodémont went out for 5 fouls at the start of the 4th quarter, Materne hit another three-pointer to make it 74-76 with 3 minutes left. But the visitors did not waver as Goffin added pressure at 76-78. Returning to their last actions, the visitors emerged against the Hannutois who deserved to open their opponent.
QT : 25-30, 24-14 (49-44), 14-23 (63-67), 19-20.
