T71 Dudelange B overturned a twopoint halftime deficit to win 8975 at Larochette, climbing to first place in MU16 Division 4. Arantia under coach Joao Pedro Osorio Silva burst out with 32 points in the first quarter, sparked by Noa Franssens (13) and Philippe Volvert (15). An early 80 push carried the hosts to 113, with Franssens repeatedly finishing at the rim and Jim Spaus hitting from deep. T71B steadied before the break, and after 4543 at halftime the game flipped.
Sandro Ceresi's side authored the decisive 3115 third quarter. ARA briefly stretched to 4843 on a Franssens three, then T71B hit a 70 run (Keiser 4, Jemming 3) to seize the lead, part of a wider 122 surge. Perimeter shooting hurt Arantia: Ben Jemming (Season PPG: 6.71) knocked down three triples, while Jamie Papa Muller (Season PPG: 8.00) and Paddy Keiser (Season PPG: 11.60) added two each. Momentum further swung when Spaus was called for an unsportsmanlike foul; Théo Mariuzzo (Season PPG: 5.40) converted at the line and the visitors built their largest gap to +18 (7860). Keiser, despite early foul trouble and later fouling out in the fourth quarter, was central in that period.
Scoring was balanced for the winners: Papa Muller 20, Keiser 16, Jemming 11, Mariuzzo 11, and Luka Babovic (15, FRA) 11, with Leo Muller (Season PPG: 6.29) adding 8. For Arantia, Franssens (13) led with 18, Volvert (15) had 17, Spaus 16 with two threes, and Noé Bissen (Season PPG: 11.67) 14. After Arantia's energetic start, T71B's thirdquarter run and outside accuracy defined the game's evolution, and they managed the margin in a balanced final period to secure the road win.
