Racing Luxembourg edged Etzella Ettelbruck 91-83 in a close M-U14 Division 1 game shaped by swings and a late surge. Christian Nittler's team built a 21-16 and 46-35 cushion at half, but Dragana Zoric's Etzella roared back with a 30-18 third quarter, opening on an 8-0 burst and briefly seizing control at 64-65. Early in the fourth, Etzella even led 75-71 after back-to-back baskets by Lenny Weber.
The endgame belonged to Racing. At 83-83, Alejandro Cuesta Jaramillo (13, ESP) strung together six consecutive points, and Elhadj Ibrahima Diallo (13, PRT) sealed it, completing an 8-0 closing run to the horn. Those two were the game-winners when it mattered.
Racing spread its scoring: Cuesta posted 34 points (13 two-pointers, 8 free throws), Diallo added 21 (7 twos, 7 free throws), Henrik Alfred Piirsalu hit 15 and buried the team's only three-pointer of the day to halt Etzella's third-quarter run, while Roby Sahr chipped in 11. Racing's 22 points from the line proved decisive; they made just one triple but piled up 33 two-pointers.
Etzella leaned heavily on a remarkable outing from Jahleeon Nascimento Rocha Carvalho (13), who poured in 44 points on 21 made two-pointers and 2 free throws, repeatedly scoring in bunches in the third and fourth quarters. Weber followed with 20, and Lenn Dos Santos had 11. Notably, Etzella did not convert a three-pointer (40 made twos, 3 points from the stripe).
Both lead scorers, Cuesta and Rocha Carvalho, navigated foul trouble (four fouls each) without fouling out. With the win, Racing move to 2-2 and 4th, snapping a two-game slide. Etzella fall to 0-4, remaining 6th and still searching for a first victory.
