Kordall Steelers B beat Résidence Walferdange B 93-82 in Niederkuer, a game defined by extreme swings. Kordall blasted out 21-0, with Ermin Babic scoring the first 11 and Timo Tani adding 8 in a row. Then came a stunning reply: RESB strung together a 42-0 run bridging the first and second quarters to lead 21-42, fueled by Liviu-Constantin Rusu's 12 straight points and Emanuele Santi's 14 in succession. Kordall answered before halftime with a 24-0 burst Yanis Attamny broke the drought, Noah Zucca (Season PPG: 22.4) piled up five consecutive baskets, and Raphael Felix Kemmer drilled three straight threes to regain a 45-42 edge at the break.
Coach Tani's side controlled the third quarter (29-23), stretching it to 74-65 behind Kemmer and Zucca. In the last period, key makes from Djessi Fernandes behind the arc, Tani at the stripe, and a late triple by Zucca preserved a double-digit margin.
Kordall's perimeter volume was decisive: 13 made threes, with Kemmer (1.89m, 25) nailing seven for 21 points. Babic (Season PPG: 26.6) and Zucca each had 23, Tani added 12, and Ulryc Marchand chipped in 6. For RESB, Santi (Season PPG: 12.29) led with 27, Rusu (37, ROU) had 17, Miguel Gonzalez Vargas (47, ESP) 14, and Razvan-Alexandru Purice 12. Both teams held a highest lead of 21 in this roller-coaster.
In the standings, Kordall climbs to 6th at 5-5, while Résidence sits 8th at 3-7, continuing a negative run after several losses. Coach Rusu's group showed remarkable resilience in that massive mid-game surge, but Kordall's shooting depth and late-game control decided it.
