Basket Esch C won 89-75 in Bascharage and completed a season sweep after the earlier 103-73 home win.
The game changed sharply after a strong BASB opening. Bascharage led 29-22 after one quarter, with Luigi Garofoli (Season PPG: 9.38) and Dzenan Eco (Season PPG: 19.43) setting the tone. Eco had an early scoring roll, and the home side was still in front 35-30 in the second period.
That was the crucial moment. LALC closed the first half on a 15-1 run to turn 35-30 into a 45-36 lead. Dorian Da Cruz (Season PPG: 9.12) and Raoul Burg (Season PPG: 4.35) were important in that surge, while Darren Marschal (Season PPG: 17.31) kept the pressure on.
BASB tried to answer after the break and came back to 49-53, but Esch reacted immediately with a 9-0 run, pushing the margin to 62-49. From there the visitors controlled the rhythm. Early in the fourth quarter they extended from 64-54 to 74-58, and the highest lead reached 16 late in the game.
For BASB, the 25-year-old Portuguese forward/center Almada Wilson da Silva (Season PPG: 14.38) was excellent with 29 points, including 12 two-point field goals and 5 made free throws. Eco added 21 and Garofoli 20, so the home team had a very productive top three.
LALC answered with more balance: Marschal scored 18, Burg 17, Da Cruz 14, Sven Reis (Season PPG: 7.88) 13 and Noah Kambala (Season PPG: 18.00) 12. That depth, especially during the second-quarter swing, made the difference. Esch is now on a five-game winning streak.
