Racing Luxembourg C controlled the game in Heffingen from the opening minutes and won 102-67. After US Heffingen C briefly led 5-2, Tom Muller's team replied with a 27-10 surge to close the first quarter 29-15, then broke it open with a 27-11 second period for a 56-26 halftime lead. The visitors' cushion peaked at +37 in the second half.
Racing's balance was decisive: six players in double figures and a heavy dose of inside scoring. Miguel Llevenes Martinez (Season PPG: 15.8) hit four threes on his way to 20 points, while Dimitry Tozik (46, ROU) powered the paint for 17. Mathieu Delaplace (Season PPG: 9.5) added 12, and Edoardo Cappelli (Season PPG: 6.0) provided a key second-quarter push with seven points in a row. Despite an unsportsmanlike foul (U2) whistled on Cappelli in the third, Racing stayed in control, finishing with 35 made two-pointers and eight threes.
Heffingen's response was led by captain Manuel Scholtus (Season PPG: 11.63), who erupted for 37 points, including seven triples. He and Bob Banzer (49) fueled an 8-0 burst late in the third that briefly cut the deficit, and Axel Mertes (30) contributed 16. Both teams hit eight three-pointers, but Racing's superior finishing near the basket decided the night.
In the fourth, Racing calmly managed the gap, with Delaplace and Pierre Petit adding timely buckets to close it out. Manuel Scholtus's group won the third quarter 19-18, yet the damage was done earlier. Racing Luxembourg C stays 4th in the standings and extends its winning streak to five, while US Heffingen C remains 8th.
