Racing Luxembourg B won a close road game at Oberanven/Central, 60-57, and climbed to 4th place with a gain of three positions. Gréngewald Hueschtert B, now 8th, suffered a third straight loss.
The game was shaped by Racing's first half control. After a solid opening quarter at 19-14, the visitors dominated the second period 16-6 and built a 35-20 halftime lead. Their ball production came from Drini Manjani (RACB), Mattia Coghetto (RACB) and Edoardo Cappelli (RACB). Manjani was especially on a roll in the second quarter, scoring 10 points in that period and helping Racing create separation.
Racing pushed the margin to 22 points in the third quarter at 50-28, with Coghetto and Cappelli keeping the offense moving. At that stage, the visitors looked fully in control. GREB, however, changed the rhythm late in the quarter with a 13-0 run to close it from 28-50 to 41-50. James Olav Glorvigen (GREB) sparked that surge, while Pol Elcheroth (16, 1.90m) and Linus Schumacher (17, 1.90m) added valuable scoring.
The fourth quarter stayed tense. Racing answered early, but GREB kept coming back and cut the gap to 55-57 after another strong stretch from Schumacher and Elcheroth. In the key moment, Manjani hit a late 3-pointer for 60-55, a decisive basket in a one-possession finish. GREB still narrowed it to 57-60, but Racing held on.
Top scorers were Manjani with 18, Coghetto with 16 and Cappelli with 12 for RACB. For GREB, Schumacher led with 15, Glorvigen added 12 and Elcheroth finished with 11. The home side clearly won the second half 37-25, but Racing's early cushion was enough.
