Telstar Hesperange C completed the season double over Telstar Hesperange B, following its earlier 64-49 win, with a 69-51 home success in this M-Division 3 championship-round game.
The opening quarter belonged slightly to TELB. Enrico Brizzi (Season PPG: 7.56) set the tone early and TELB closed the period ahead 21-17. TELC stayed in touch through Deivydas Raibikis (Season PPG: 19.30), who scored 8 points in the first quarter and gave his team a stable offensive base.
The game changed in the second quarter. Coach Irmantas Jarosas' team tightened the defense and won the period 21-6, turning a 4-point deficit into a 38-27 halftime lead. Raibikis kept producing, while Zilvinas Simkus, the 52-year-old Lithuanian guard, gave TELC an important lift with two three-pointers in the quarter.
The decisive stretch came after the break. TELC won the third quarter 21-7 and built the margin through a long surge from 40-33 to 56-33, a 16-0 run that broke the game open. Vilius Adomenas (Season PPG: 12.69) was central in that phase, scoring repeatedly inside, and Simkus added more perimeter scoring. TELC's highest lead reached 26 points.
Raibikis finished as the key man for TELC with 23 points, supported by Simkus with 11, Adomenas with 10 and Mindaugas Pakstys with 8. TELB had the game's top scorer in Brizzi with 26 points, including strong first-half production, while captain Promitheas Peridis (Season PPG: 1.91) added 11. TELB won the last quarter 17-10, but TELC's control from the second and third periods was too strong.
