T71 Dudelange overpowered Grngewald Hueschtert 97-43 in Oberanven/Central, taking command from the tip. After a brief 4-7 start, T71 closed the first quarter on a 33-5 run to lead 40-9. The visitors kept their foot down to 59-19 at half and 87-32 after three, reaching their biggest gap at 38-97 (+59) before Grngewald finished with a 5-0 mini-run.
Perimeter shooting was a clear separator: T71 drained 12 threes, with Kevin Fernandes Vaz (16, CPV) pouring in 28 points and finding a hot hand in the third quarter. Support came from Daris Honsic (16, FRA) with 15, Jonas Lies (17) 13, Justin Lux (17) 10, and Charel Brettner (1.93m, 17) 10. Tom Schumacher's team is on a three-game winning streak and tops the MU18 Division 1 Phase 1 at 3-0.
Grngewald's best stretches arrived late, edging the fourth quarter 11-10 and closing the game through Juan Santiago Lopez Oderigo (Season PPG: 6.0), who scored five points in a row. Valentin Maggi (Season PPG: 6.67) led GRE with 10, followed by Lopez Oderigo 9, Egidijus Jarukaitis (3 games) 6, and Harik Avanesov (Season PPG: 6.2) 6. Nicolas Franois L. Dupong (Season PPG: 6.0) added 5.
The opening period also saw two unsportsmanlike fouls in quick succession (Jesse Papa Muller and Maggi), and Grngewald called an early timeout at 2'. Jarukaitis later managed foul trouble in the fourth but stayed on the floor. With this result, GRE falls to 0-3, while T71's form surge continues at the top of the standings.
