M-Division 3, Championship round (Aller/game 2): BBC East Side Pirates B controlled the second half to beat Telstar Hesperange D 76-63 in Wasserbillig. The game opened tight and swung Telstar's way late in the first quarter when Pascal Wohl (TELD) strung together three baskets in a row for a 0-6 personal run, giving the visitors an 18-17 edge after 10 minutes. Telstar kept momentum early in the second (17-23 after a Ben Ries triple), and led 39-37 at halftime.
Coach Tony Martins Ferreira's Pirates flipped the script after the break. A disciplined third-quarter surge, sparked by the 43-year-old Larry Da Luz ep. Harris (BEPB) and Michel Mathieu (BEPB), produced a 24-11 period and a 61-50 cushion. Mathieu committed two fouls in a row early in the third, but stayed aggressive and scored repeatedly from mid-range. Late in the quarter, back-to-back threes by Tony Martins Ferreira (BEPB) and Steve Dostert (BEPB) pushed the lead to +11. Telstar's foul trouble mattered: Wohl, an early catalyst with 10 points, fouled out in the third.
In the fourth, Alec Paul Jacques Goedert (TELD) kept Telstar in touch with steady scoring at the rim and the line, and Max Rock (TELD) added a late three (71-62). But Da Luz ep. Harris capped the night at the stripe as the hosts closed it out, reaching their largest lead of 13 at the buzzer.
