North Fox B edged Telstar Hesperange C 51-45 in a close game between the current No.2 and No.5 teams. FOXB moved up one place and stayed perfect at 4-0, extending its winning run to four games.
The game turned sharply after Telstar's strong opening. TELC led 12-6 after the first quarter and even made it 13-6 early in the second, but North Fox answered with a decisive 20-0 run to flip the game completely, going from -7 to +13. That stretch set the tone for a 20-point second quarter and a 26-17 halftime lead.
North Fox kept control in the third. Sébastien Schmitz (27, 1.86m) and Fábio Samuel Mauricio Gomes (27, 1.92m, PRT) were important in that phase, and FOXB reached its highest lead at 41-27. Telstar still stayed alive through Vilius Adomenas (36, LTU), who again carried much of the scoring load.
The last quarter brought the tension back. TELC opened with an 11-0 run, cutting 29-41 to 40-41 was not reached, but 38-41 made it a one-possession game. Arnas Damosevicius (43, LTU) scored early in the period, yet his foul trouble became costly as he committed three fouls in a row in the fourth and fouled out with 10 points.
FOXB then steadied itself. Dozie Bowei (26, 2.03m), Schmitz and Tom Uding (29, 1.85m) provided the answers, while Pablo Oliver Asama Bindang (25, ESP) added an important basket at 43-38. Bowei finished with 11 points, Schmitz had 9, and Uding plus Mauricio Gomes scored 8 each. For Telstar, Adomenas led all scorers with 19, ahead of Damosevicius' 10.
