Second-placed Résidence Walferdange (+2 places after this round) came through the key moments better and won 71-58 at AS Soleuvre, who remain 5th. The game stayed balanced for a long time: 13-13 after the first quarter, 26-33 at half-time, and still only 49-57 after three.
Soleuvre started well through Matteo Fratini (Season PPG: 10.40) and Lou Lahure (Season PPG: 16.80), but Walferdange answered with a strong first-quarter stretch led by Matas Sendzikas (Season PPG: 16.20), who scored 6 points in a row. Soleuvre then closed the quarter with a 5-1 push to tie it.
The first important swing came at the start of the second period, when Walferdange moved from 13-13 to 13-21. Soleuvre reacted behind Marvin Contreras (Season PPG: 15.00), whose activity kept the home side in touch, but Résidence still carried a 7-point lead into the break.
In the third, Krassen Kameoov Koev (Season PPG: 18.80) took over repeatedly. He finished with 22 points, while Alexander Rocco Knowles (RES) added 11 and Sendzikas 12. Walferdange did most of its damage inside, scoring 56 of its 71 points on 2-point field goals, and also had a 9-5 edge in made free throws.
Soleuvre relied heavily on Lahure and Contreras, who combined for 43 of the team's 58 points. Lahure scored 23 with five 3-pointers, and Contreras added 20 despite early foul pressure. Soleuvre's outside shooting kept the game alive, with 9 made threes overall, but the late sequence decided it: from 57-65, Résidence scored 6 straight points, including back-to-back baskets from Sendzikas, for its biggest lead at 14 and full control.
