AS Soleuvre controlled Bascharage 100-80 in a game that swung decisively after halftime. The first half stayed within reach (18-19, then 40-48), driven by a second-quarter spree from Felix Whitcomb Kloman (Season PPG: 30.11, RPG: 6.41, AssPG: 2.88), who buried four triples in the period and lived at the line.
The third quarter decided it. Soleuvre opened with 5 straight from Mathys Ntemo, then authored a 13-0 run midway through the period, powered by Gilles Weis and Christian Jeffrey Parker, to stretch 46-57 to 46-70. Coach Dejan Pavlovic's time-outs and a technical could not halt the momentum, and Soleuvre led by as many as 24 (51-75) entering the fourth. Bascharage rallied late behind Veljko Dragasevic's barrage four triples in the last quarter, 6/8 from deep overall (excellent) but Kloman, Kley Cirikovic and Parker answered to close it out.
Numbers told the story: Soleuvre won the free-throw line 21/25 (84%, good) to 5/8 and kept turnovers to 9 against 18. From long range the visitors shot 44% (good), while Bascharage were efficient from two (52%, good) and three (47%, good) but couldn't convert that into control due to the possession game and fouls.
