T71 Dudelange overpowered Musel Pikes 100-73, controlling the game with shooting and rebounding. After a balanced start (16-21), T71 broke it open in the second quarter. A 7-0 burst to 25-36 was followed by a 9-0 close to halftime capped by two free throws after an unsportsmanlike foul on Tom Welter setting a 31-47 gap at the break.
T71's perimeter barrage never cooled: 17 threes at 42.5% and 58% inside the arc (team shooting good in all categories). Jimmie Lee Taylor III (Season PPG: 22.73, RPG: 7.11, AssPG: 3.0) led with 33 points and 16 rebounds, a double-double that anchored the paint and the arc. Maurice Calloo (26, 2.03m, USA) added 23 and, early in the fourth, scored 10 consecutive team points to push the lead past 20. Davide Grun hit four triples and Uros Malesevic added timely outside scoring. Coach Yves André Defraigne's side also owned the glass (39-27).
Musel struggled to finish inside (38% 2P), though they held at the line (20/26, 77%). Jaylen Key (28, 2.01m, USA) posted 21 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double, Konan Boglin Oth (Season PPG: 13.94, RPG: 7.35, AssPG: 1.65) added 15 on efficient shooting, and Martaz Robinson (23, USA) drew contact and scored 12. But the hosts couldn't match the visitors' volume from deep (7/20, 35%).
The final period confirmed T71's control: after Key's triple to start the quarter, Taylor answered with back-to-back threes, Malesevic added another, and Calloo's personal run stretched the margin. The highest lead reached 27 at the buzzer.
T71 completes the season sweep after the 83-68 home win in October. In the table, T71 sit 6th (10-6) and are on a three-game winning streak; Musel are 10th. Coach Guy Schmit's team showed fight at the stripe but were undone by T71's perimeter rhythm and dominance on the boards.
