Rebound Préizerdaul B edged Telstar Hesperange E 63-57 in Bettborn after a tense finish. Under coach Mike Weyer, PREB built the game on perimeter firepower and a dominant second quarter, leading 37-25 at halftime and stretching the gap to a game-high +17 at 42-25 early in the third.
Telstar, guided by coach Christophe Thil, then flipped the momentum with a 14-1 run to close the third (43-39) and kept rolling in the fourth: a 7-0 burst tied it at 48-48 before Thil (Season PPG: 4.75) briefly put them ahead 50-48. PREB answered under pressure. Devin Junior Alves Neves (24, PRT) hit the night's emblematic shots six triples en route to 25 points including a key three for 55-52 and a late free throw for 61-55. JeanLuc Pedro Batista (Season PPG: 10.14) added 16 with four threes, including a clutch 58-55 bomb. Captain Derek Lamont Wilson (Season PPG: 4.00) was calm at the line to close it at 63-57.
Christian Mafuta (30) gave PREB 13 points inside before fouling out in the fourth, a notable twist as Telstar were pushing. PREB's long-range output (11 made threes) contrasted sharply with Telstar's single triple and ultimately separated the teams in a close game.
For Telstar, David Parisi (Season PPG: 16.20) led with 15, Thil followed with 14, and Alec Goedert (Season PPG: 17.00) had 13, spearheading that third-quarter surge and early fourth-quarter points. Jordan Kaboth (24) chipped in timely scoring.
The head-to-head is now split after Telstar's 63-48 win in the first meeting. In the classification, PREB climbs two places to 4th, while Telstar sit 2nd. The decisive stretches: PREB's late second-quarter 8-0 push to break the game open, Telstar's 14-1 charge to re-enter, and the closing sequence where Alves Neves and Pedro Batista delivered the game-winners, with Wilson sealing from the line.
