Telstar Hesperange C edged Avanti Mondorf B 60-59 in Mondorf after a rugged, defensive finish. The opening was balanced (18-18), before MONB took control in the second quarter to reach 41-34 at halftime behind the shot-making of Tim Bartholomey (25, 1.93m) and Arthur Ladonet (15, FRA). The third quarter flipped the script: TELC won it 20-10, fuelled by Deivydas Raibikis (34, LTU), who poured in a series of twos, and by a 5-point burst from Arnas Damosevicius (2 then a three) for a 48-52 lead.
The final period was a grind (8-6). Tim Bartholomey tied it at 54-54 with a three, then a string of fouls on both sides slowed the pace. MONB produced a 5-0 run two free throws by Sven Bartholomey (29, 1.86m) and a big triple from captain-coach Jeffrey Neyen (Season PPG: 3.60) to 59-54. TELC answered immediately: Raibikis scored back-to-back twos for a personal 4-0, and Damosevicius (Season PPG: 11.67) hit the game-winner for 59-60. In the final minute, MONB's Bob Hemmen committed an unsportsmanlike foul (U2), while Raibikis picked up consecutive fouls and eventually fouled out, but TELC held firm to the buzzer.
Raibikis dominated inside with 33 points and 16 made two-pointers; Damosevicius added 11. TELC's attack came almost entirely from the paint (26 twos, 1 three, 5 free throws). MONB leaned on the line and perimeter: 14 points at the stripe and 7 threes. For Mondorf, Sven Bartholomey led with 17, Tim Bartholomey had 16, Ladonet 13, and Neyen 6 (two threes). Kim Majerus (Season PPG: 4.83) also connected from deep in the second quarter.
Coach Irmantas Jarosas' TELC have now won two straight after a three-game slide and climb to 4th. MONB drop to 6th and are on a three-game losing streak.
