Amicale Steesel C, still first in M-Division 3, controlled this return-round game from very early on and completed a 2-0 season sweep over Telstar Hesperange B after the earlier 76-52 away win. It was also a third straight win for the leaders, while Telstar, now ninth despite a one-place gain in the table, suffered a fifth consecutive defeat.
The decisive phase came in the opening period. After a 4-4 start, Amicale accelerated behind Maximilien Daniel Lamesch (Season PPG: 16.20) and Björn Molitor (Season PPG: 13.00). A 15-0 run turned 24-15 into 39-15, and the home side had already created a major separation before the break. At halftime, Amicale led 60-28.
Amicale's offense had several reliable options. Molitor finished with 27 points and was the main long-range weapon throughout the game. Lamesch added 19, Bob Melcher (31, 1.89m) scored 13 in only his second appearance of the competition, Bob Welbes (Season PPG: 5.50) had 11 and Christophe Nesser (Season PPG: 6.75) added 10. Under coach Ken Konrath, the home side kept its rhythm after the interval and reached its biggest lead at 89-46.
Telstar's best reaction came late, with 11 unanswered points to reduce the final margin. Juan Menacho de Gongora (Season PPG: 12.31) and Charbel Kassouf (Season PPG: 2.60) scored 11 each, while Rodrigo Rico Gomez (Season PPG: 6.21) and captain Promitheas Peridis (Season PPG: 1.72) contributed 10 apiece. Telstar never got close enough to change the flow, but their finish was cleaner after a very difficult first half.
