Basket Esch C overpowered Bascharage Hedgehogs B, 103-73, dictating the tempo from the opening tip. Coach Raoul Burg's group exploded for 36 first-quarter points and closed the period with a 12-0 run, turning 24-18 into 36-18 through four straight free throws by Noah Jacques Kambala and quick strikes from Dorian Da Cruz and Sven Reis. Esch extended to 61-35 at the half and led by as many as 30 in the fourth.
Game flow remained largely one-way despite a third quarter edged by the visitors (16-17), sparked by F. Teixeira Ribeiro and Teodor Lukic. Early in Q4, Bascharage's momentum stalled when Teixeira Ribeiro committed a personal foul followed immediately by an unsportsmanlike (U2), and later Tristan Hugues Heilmann was whistled for a technical. Esch kept scoring through Reis's early-fourth burst before he fouled out, a footnote given the margin.
Kambala was the reference, posting 25 points, including 9 at the line and two triples (Season PPG: 18.4). Da Cruz added 18 with four threes and a five-point flurry on his first shift. Reis chipped in 17 before disqualification, while Antoni Cimino (LALC) and Darren Marschal (25, 1.75m) supplied timely scoring. Captain Burg added 10.
For Bascharage, Dzenan Eco (19, 1.96m) led with 20 points, Daniel Tshilumba (18, 1.80m, BEL) had 13, and Lukic scored 12. Heilmann contributed 9.
Esch stay on top of the classification at 4-1. Bascharage remain third and see a three-game winning run halted under coach Goran Lukic.
