League leaders T71 Dudelange B stayed perfect at 4-0 and kept first place with a clear 87-64 road win at third-placed US Heffingen C, who are now 2-2.
The game was largely shaped in the opening period. T71B exploded to 52 points and took a 52-36 lead, with Uros Malesevic (20, 1.95m) setting the tone immediately by scoring T71B's first 8 points in a row. He finished with 24 points. He was well supported by Jonas Lies (18), who added 17, while Fabian Agbodenou (21, 1.80m) and Justin Lux (18, 1.92m) both scored 13, and Rafael Costa Farinha (19) had 11. That balance gave coach Idris Kader's side control from the start.
Heffingen still had strong individual production. Joel Thesen (38, 1.85m) carried the home offense with 32 points, including 23 in that high-scoring first period. Daniel Wampach (33) added 11, and Manuel Scholtus scored 13. Rafael Hernan Agreda Barrios (44, VEN) brought 4 points and activity late.
The key second-half theme was game management by T71B. Heffingen tried to respond through Thesen and Scholtus, but after the break they never got the gap below 16 points. Early in the fourth quarter, T71B pushed the margin to 30 at 82-52, the game's highest lead.
Another important stretch came in the last quarter when Jean-Pierre Kunnert committed several fouls in a short span for Heffingen, and T71B converted that phase into additional points at the line and kept the game fully under control.
T71B also extended their winning streak to four straight games.
