First-placed Sparta Bertrange B extended its strong run to six straight wins with a clear 105-59 road success over T71 Dudelange C, now 3rd after a one-place rise. Sparta also completed a season sweep after the earlier 105-82 win.
The game was competitive only in the opening minutes. T71 stayed with Sparta at 6-6, but the visitors closed the first quarter on an 11-4 run to lead 17-10. The second quarter was the turning point. Eduard Vevecka (Season PPG: 4.94) scored 6 points in a row as Sparta moved from 12-17 to 12-25, and the gap kept growing. Simon Derwael-Thomsin, the 16-year-old French captain, gave constant scoring pressure, while Vasileios Paspaltzis (Season PPG: 11.40) kept the tempo high. At halftime, Sparta was already in full control at 44-22.
T71 had its best spell just after the break. Luka Babovic (Season PPG: 14.55), Timo Ewerling and Felix Schanen combined for an 8-2 start to the third quarter, reducing the margin to 28-46. Sparta answered immediately. Derwael-Thomsin (Season PPG: 17.26) sparked the response, and the visitors rebuilt a 31-point cushion by the end of the quarter, 75-44. From there, the fourth period only widened the separation, with the highest lead reaching 46 points.
Coach Dimitrios Paspaltzis saw four players in double figures: Derwael-Thomsin 26, Paspaltzis 18, Lukas Maver (Season PPG: 14.05) 12 and Vevecka 12. Sparta's offensive base was its inside scoring, with 42 made two-pointers. Oskar Nagy added two threes.
For coach Ronny Schanen's side, Babovic and Sergiu Lisnicenco (Season PPG: 7.21) scored 10 each, while Leo Muller (Season PPG: 6.65) and Lee Weyland (Season PPG: 8.79) had 9 apiece. Daris Adrovic, a 14-year-old from Montenegro, added 5. T71 stayed balanced for stretches, but Sparta's depth and repeated answers after every small home push shaped the game.
