Amicale Steesel turned an early scare into a very one-sided 99-44 away win over Résidence Walferdange in this M-U14 Division 2 Phase 1 game. The result lifts AMI two places into 2nd, while RES stay 6th and remain without a win after four games.
Walferdange actually opened better. Robert Nicula (RES) and Maxime Prosperi (RES) hit early threes for a 6-2 lead, and RES were still close at 8-9. From there, the game changed quickly. Amicale put together a 21-6 run to move from 2-6 down to 23-12 up, with Raphael Boreiko (AMI), Atanas Atapov (Season PPG: 13.20) and Charel Patz (AMI) all active.
The home side fought back in the next stretch. Maxime Prosperi (RES), only 11 years old, kept RES in touch, and the deficit was cut to 25-29. That was the key moment before the break: Amicale answered strongly. Phil Linckels (AMI) caught fire and scored 8 points in that late sequence as AMI closed the half at 43-31.
After that, Steesel took full control. RES got as close as 35-49, but AMI then produced the decisive burst: 23 unanswered points for 72-35. That run settled everything. During that phase, Patz, Linckels, Boreiko and Noe Olmedo (AMI) all scored, while Walferdange also lost captain Stefans Grandovskis (RES) on five fouls.
Amicale had six players in double figures: Linckels 22, 13-year-old Patz 20, Olmedo 18, Boreiko 11, Atapov 10 and William Santos Ferreira (AMI) 10. For RES, Maxime Prosperi led with 14, Joaquym Questier (RES) added 11 and Nicula had 9. Thorsten Freiheit's team recovered well after the slow start and finished with a highest lead of 55 points.
