Racing Luxembourg C overturned a seven-point halftime deficit to win 89-78 at Deichwisen/Central, powered by a dominant second half and a decisive third-quarter surge. Etzella Ettelbruck B raced out 33-26 in the first quarter, sparked by captain Miguel Angelo Domingos Sanches (Season PPG: 24.0), who drilled three consecutive triples in the late minutes to create a nine-point cushion. The hosts kept control to the break, 50-43.
Tom Muller's side flipped the script after halftime. From 56-47 for ETZB, Racing stitched together a 9-0 run to tie, absorbed a brief ETZB basket, then struck with a second 10-0 burst to close the third up 66-60. The visitors kept their foot down in the fourth, stretching the lead to a game-high +15 (74-89) before closing it out.
Sofiane Amadou Bah (Season PPG: 10.8) led Racing with 23 points, while Marcin Rybarczyk (Season PPG: 6.2) and Alexis Gumy (34, CHE) added 18 apiece. Miguel Llevenes Martinez (33, ESP) chipped in 11 and hit early perimeter shots that steadied Racing's offense. For Etzella, Domingos Sanches finished with 18, backed by Marvin Delgado dos Santos (16, 1.90m) with 13 and Lou Clees (18, 1.89m) with 11. Jose Miguel Domingos Sanches (19, 1.76m, PRT) added 9. ETZB's rhythm suffered late when Sam Schaaf (17, 1.92m) reached five fouls after an unsportsmanlike in the fourth.
Nelson Delgado's men had strong spells, including Wolter's back-to-back field goals early in Q2 and a composed 50-43 halftime lead, but Racing's inside pressure through Bah and mid-range efficiency from Rybarczyk and Gumy decided the balance.
In the standings, Racing climbs to 4th (3-2, +3 places) and extends its streak to three wins in a row. Etzella slips to 10th (2-3, -1) and drops a second straight game.
