Résidence Walferdange B controlled the game from the tip and won 72-55 at atert/terrain2. Coach Liviu-Constantin Rusu's side opened on a 0-9 burst after back-to-back twos and a triple from Rusu, forcing an early Sparta timeout. The visitors led 12-26 after the first quarter and 26-38 at halftime. Any SPAC momentum notably a 6-point personal run from Kevin Andrade Alves in Q1 and a strong second quarter by Florian Loic Strauch (30, DEU) was answered quickly. Late in the third, five quick points from Filip Duki (35, MNE) and Patricio Novales stretched the gap to a game-high +21 (34-55), effectively sealing it.
SPAC's best stretches came in Q2 and early Q4 when David Milosavljevic hit back-to-back threes to trim the deficit, but Résidence managed every response. Emanuele Santi provided edge in the middle quarters before fouling out in the fourth after a third-quarter technical.
Leaders Résidence: from one group, Duki 17 and Rusu (captain, 37) 15 drove the offense, with Santi 8 and Miguel 7 in support; from the other, Predescu added a basket. Sparta: from one group, Milosavljevic 13, Andrade Alves 6 and Bové/Wolf 4 each; from the other, Strauch 14 and Maxime Biname (Season PPG: 8.71) 8.
Head-to-head is now split 1-1 after SPAC's win in the first meeting. In the standings, Résidence jump five places to 6th, while SPAC slip to 11th and are on a five-game losing streak.
