Etzella Ettelbruck B, now 8th after a gain of two places, controlled the return game at Heffingen and beat 11th-placed US Heffingen C 74-50, completing a season sweep after the 82-60 win in the first meeting.
The game turned after a good Heffingen opening. The home side moved in front 13-7, but Etzella B closed the first quarter on a 12-2 run to lead 19-15. That shift carried into the second period. Lenny Lopes Morais (Season PPG: 12.69) became the clear offensive engine and scored repeatedly in key stretches, helping the visitors create a double-digit gap and reach halftime up 42-31.
The third quarter was another decisive phase. Etzella opened it with a 7-0 burst for 49-31, their first 18-point lead. Heffingen answered through Manuel Scholtus (Season PPG: 10.04), who scored 8 points in a row by himself to cut the deficit to 49-39. Still, Etzella reacted immediately and kept control at 58-44 after three quarters.
Lopes Morais finished with 38 points, by far the best individual performance of the night. Oreoluwa Oke (Season PPG: 6.84) added 12, captain Olivier Schneider (26, 1.85m) scored 9, and Axel Bieux contributed 7. For Heffingen, Scholtus and Charel Hetto (Season PPG: 7.54) both scored 15. The 45-year-old Belgian Simon Maes brought an early spark with 6 points.
The last quarter became more fragmented. Hakim Baba was disqualified in the third after two technical fouls in succession, and Maes was later disqualified in the fourth after two unsportsmanlike fouls in a row. Etzella still won the final period 16-6 and stretched the margin to its highest point, 24, at the end.
