Third-ranked Gréngewald Hueschtert C controlled this M-Division 2 game from the start and won 69-50 at Bascharage Hedgehogs B, who remain 11th.
The key moment came immediately. GREC opened on a 10-0 run and set the tone with a 29-16 first quarter. Bascharage had brief answers through Gabriele Arenai (BASB) and Philippe Kemp (BASB), but the visitors kept extending the margin. In the second period, Bascharage managed only 4 points, and GREC pushed the lead to 42-20 at halftime. Craig Forde (GREC) and the 31-year-old Greek Christos Nterelis (GREC) were central in that phase, while Dimitrios Papachatzis (GREC) added perimeter scoring.
Bascharage tried to restart after the break, with Noé Bovery (BASB) and Luigi Garofoli (BASB) finding some offense, but GREC answered with a decisive 10-0 burst from 46-28 to 56-28 late in the third quarter. That stretch effectively broke the game open, and the visitors reached a highest lead of 30 points at 63-33 in the fourth.
Coach Armin Trubljanin's side reacted late and won the last quarter 22-13. Bovery finished as Bascharage's top scorer with 16 points, including 10 in the fourth, while Garofoli added 11 and Arenai 7. Kemp also gave 7 points but spent much of the evening in foul trouble and fouled out late.
For GREC, Nterelis led with 16 points, Forde scored 15, and Papachatzis had 11. Anastasios Kotsopoulos (GREC) and Leonidas Grigoriadis (GREC) added 7 each, and veteran Olaf Recht (GREC), 51, contributed 6 in a well-managed away performance. GREC also responded well after its previous loss and moved to 1-1.
