Résidence Walferdange B edged Telstar Hesperange 83-82 in a dramatic finish at Holleschb II. Telstar controlled the first half with a steady inside game and transition thrust, building a double-digit cushion early and taking a 46-33 lead at the break. Coach Uchenna Ohpani Agada's group still held an eight-point margin after three (64-56).
The fourth quarter flipped the script. After Telstar stretched it to 75-69, Résidence strung together a 12-4 charge. Matas Sendzikas (14, LTU; Season PPG: 23.19) authored the decisive sequence: a three to make it 80-79, calm free throws to tie at 80-80, and another three for an 83-80 edge with under a minute left. Gabriel Marques dos Ramos (Season PPG: 22.36) replied quickly for Telstar (82-83), but Résidence closed the door.
Sendzikas delivered a towering 57 points, mixing paint touches, frequent trips to the line and a third-quarter eruption with multiple threes that hauled his team back into contention. Martin veda (Season PPG: 8.91) supported with 14 points and timely buckets in the third and fourth quarters. Coach André Da Cruz's timeouts around the 3rd and 10th minutes of the fourth frame punctuated the momentum swing.
For Telstar, Marques dos Ramos led with 31, attacking relentlessly and keeping the hosts afloat late from the stripe and in traffic. Batu Polad (Season PPG: 12.50) added 19, including a third-quarter triple and key baskets early in the fourth, while Mathis Adehm (Season PPG: 10.14) and Axel Hosten (Season PPG: 7.18) chipped in nine apiece. Adehm navigated foul trouble (four personals), and Arthur Beltechi picked up two quick fouls in the fourth, which hampered Telstar's rim protection down the stretch.
Telstar's largest lead was 13 at halftime; Résidence's comeback was sealed by Sendzikas scoring seven straight points from 80-76 down to 83-80 up. In the classification, Résidence climbs to 4th (+2), while Telstar slips to 6th (-1). Résidence also snaps a three-game losing run with this narrow road win.
