EY Luxembourg controlled this Bascol Division 4 game at St George and beat BBC House Startups 51-25 after building the gap step by step rather than in one single burst.
The first quarter was still competitive. After Lucas Leguina Aranda (HST) answered the opening basket, Federico Burcovich (EYL) scored 6 points in a row and EY Luxembourg moved to 10-2. House Startups did not lose contact, though: Mikhail Erman (HST) hit from long range and Jekabs Vinauds (HST) added 4 late points to bring it back to 13-9. Leguina Aranda also picked up two fouls in quick succession in that opening period.
The game turned clearly in the second quarter. EY Luxembourg opened with a 9-0 run, with Federico Burcovich (EYL), Julien Muller (EYL), Giuseppe Da Re (EYL) and Marco Villa (EYL) all scoring. That changed 13-9 into 22-9. When House Startups tried to answer through Vinauds, Burcul and Leguina Aranda, EY Luxembourg produced another 8-0 spell to reach 30-12 and went into halftime up 34-18.
After the break, the home side kept the game under control. Albert Jorda (EYL) scored twice inside in the third quarter, Da Re added another basket, and Burcovich stayed productive around the rim. House Startups managed only 4 points in the period and never threatened the lead. The fourth quarter was even more one-sided, with EY Luxembourg finishing on a 9-3 margin for the quarter and extending the highest lead to 26 points.
Burcovich (EYL) led all scorers with 16 points, well supported by Nouradine Ndiaye (EYL) with 10, while Villa added 7 and Jorda 6. For House Startups, Leguina Aranda (HST) and Vinauds (HST) scored 7 each, and Erman (HST) finished with 6.
