Etzella Ettelbruck B controlled most of this championship-round game and beat Gréngewald Hueschtert B 100-75. Gavin Alexander Love's team, now on a 3-game winning streak, also completed the season sweep after the earlier 90-49 win away. In the new classification, ETZB jumped four places to 5th, while GREB dropped to 8th.
The first quarter stayed competitive at 33-28. GREB had early answers through Lex Bauer (Season PPG: 14.92), Linus Schumacher (GREB) and Raik Steyer (GREB), but Etzella already had a strong scoring source in Lou Clees, the 18-year-old homegrown guard (Season PPG: 17.38). Clees poured in 17 points in the opening period and kept ETZB in front.
The game turned more clearly in the second quarter. GREB remained close at 40-37, then ETZB produced a 6-0 run to create separation and went into halftime up 56-41. Sam Schaaf (Season PPG: 17.43) was important in that phase, mixing inside scoring and free throws.
GREB briefly reduced the gap to 56-45 early in the third, but that was the key moment. ETZB answered with a 9-0 run to 65-45 and kept rolling to 83-55 after three quarters. The lead later reached 31 points at 93-62.
Clees finished with 34 points, including 10 made three-pointers. Schaaf added 19, Olivier Schneider (ETZB) scored 17 in only his 4th game of the competition, and Lenny Lopes Morais brought 14. For GREB, Steyer scored 20, Bauer had 19, Robyn Schumacher (Season PPG: 11.53) added 17, and Schumacher finished with 13. GREB still scored 20 points in the last quarter, but could not slow Etzella's perimeter flow.
