Gréngewald Hueschtert controlled this return game in Bascharage and won 88-61, completing a 2-0 season sweep over Bascharage Hedgehogs after the earlier 95-63.
The game was shaped very early. GRE opened 4-0, then produced a 10-0 run after BAS had reduced the score to 2-4, and the first quarter already stood at 22-6. Bascharage had trouble stabilising the game, and Mateo Bogatu picked up three fouls in a row in that opening period, which affected the home rotation.
Coach Nicolas Parrish's team kept the initiative in the second quarter. BAS had a better spell when it cut the gap from 6-28 to 15-30, and later reached 23-37, but GRE answered each time and went to halftime up 47-24. The visitors stayed in control after the break, extending the margin to 67-37 after three quarters. The highest lead reached 30 points at 86-56. Bascharage reacted better in the last quarter, but the game was already decided.
