Amicale Steesel C controlled Telstar Hesperange B, 76-52, in the M-Division 3 championship round at Holleschb2/Terrain 1. TELB started well behind early makes from Ioannis Papoulidis and Juan Menacho de Gongora, edging ahead 17-14. Romain Guillaume Malterre then scored four points in a row to push TELB 21-20. From there, AMIC flipped the game: after 23-23, a 11-2 surge featured a Ken Konrath three and back-to-back triples by Björn Molitor and Gil Majerus for 25-34. AMIC never trailed again, stretching the gap to 27-40 and later 35-55, with the largest lead at the buzzer (+24).
Konrath set the tone with repeated baskets across phases and finished with 25 points (Season PPG: 12.17). Majerus added 22, including a first free throw to tie at 21-21 and timely scoring in the long AMIC run. Molitor came in and immediately hit from deep (9 points), while Bill Paul Fischer provided 14 inside points. AMIC's scoring balance and discipline (no player in serious foul trouble) under coach Ken Konrath kept the tempo stable.
TELB's resistance came from Menacho de Gongora (15; 27, Spain), Malterre (11) and Papoulidis (6; Season PPG: 12.60). Brief TELB bursts, notably Malterre's 4-0 to 21-20, could not stem AMIC's perimeter flurry. Niels Frederic Habran (37, Denmark) chipped in 4.
There were very few free throws overall; most of the damage came in transition and half-court finishing. Captain roles mattered: Konrath led by example for AMIC, while Promitheas Peridis organized TELB and added 2.
In the table, Amicale Steesel C climb to 1st (5-0, ranking gain +2) and extend their winning streak to five. Telstar Hesperange B fall to 10th at 0-5.
