Telstar Hesperange E controlled North Fox C 86-60 in Reuler, imposing their rhythm early and finishing with authority. After Mike Bausch opened with a three and Jordan Kaboth added five quick points, FOXC briefly drew level at 10-10 through Mensanh Theodore Adjogbovi. TELE answered with a 7-0 run to close the first quarter 23-16 and never trailed again. The second period brought a 6-0 TELE burst to 33-21, only for FOXC to reply 6-0, but late baskets by Bausch and Educardo Teixeira Bregeiro restored a double-digit halftime cushion (46-35).
FOXC's best spell came in the third. Trailing 41-53, they strung together a 9-0 run fueled by Eldar Sabotic (18) to get within one possession at 50-53. Coach Christophe Thil's side steadied immediately: a 6-0 counter run and a Teixeira Bregeiro triple re-established distance (62-52). The fourth quarter was one-way traffic. Niccolo Spagnoletti (23, ITA) drilled a three to start, and TELE closed on a 10-0 sprint, pushing the margin to the night's largest at +26.
Scoring depth defined TELE: Teixeira Bregeiro (45, PRT) paced them with 24, Spagnoletti added 21, supported by Vukotic (10), Bausch (10), Kaboth (9), Maestri (48, ITA) with 8, and Thil Christophe (Season PPG: 4.5) 4. For FOXC, Mauricio Gomes (Season PPG: 14.8) led with 21 and remarkably scored all eight of his team's fourth-quarter points; Sabotic netted 16 and Adjogbovi 11.
Coach Joao Da Silva Moreira's group fought back twice but couldn't answer the final push. TELE's win streak reaches four, keeping them first in M-Division 4 (4-0, 1st), while FOXC remain winless (0-3, 7th).
