Telstar Hesperange C took control early and won clearly away to Telstar Hesperange D, 59-36, in a game where the evolution was defined by TELC's fast start and steady defensive hold. The visitors, now 4th and up one place in M-Division 3, also completed a 2-0 season sweep after their earlier 71-52 win. TELD remain 7th.
Coach Irmantas Jarosas saw TELC open on a 9-0 run before TELD got on the board through Gil Roden (Season PPG: 6.67). Even then, TELC kept the initiative and closed the first quarter 19-9. The start of the second period was another key moment: TELC scored the first 7 points of the quarter to move from 19-9 to 26-9, pushing the gap to 17. TELD had short answers through Roden and Jordan Kaboth (24), but never got close enough to change the rhythm, and the score reached 35-17 at halftime.
The third quarter followed the same pattern. TELD briefly scored first through Kaboth, but TELC answered well, with Valentin Mitov (Season PPG: 6.86) hitting two three-pointers in the period and Arnas Damosevicius adding a late triple for 49-25. That stretch effectively settled the game. TELC's biggest lead reached 26 points at 59-33 late in the fourth.
Vilius Adomenas (Season PPG: 12.92) led all scorers with 20 points and was the main offensive difference, mixing inside scoring, a three and 3 free throws. Deivydas Raibikis (Season PPG: 18.89) added 10, Mitov scored 8, and Domas Savickas (Season PPG: 9.07) contributed 7, including 5 made free throws and the last 3 TELC points in a row.
For TELD, Roden scored 15 and Kaboth added 13. Roden kept the home side alive for stretches, but his foul trouble became important late and he fouled out in the fourth quarter. TELD won the last period 11-10, yet by then the margin had already been built. TELC also bounced back well after a loss in their previous outing, while TELD could not build on their last win.
