Résidence Walferdange overpowered Mambra Mamer 70-49 in the M-U14 Division 2 Phase finale, breaking the game open after halftime. Mamer, guided by coach Paul Jacque, edged the first quarter 20-19 and went to the break level at 34-34 after a balanced second period. Coach Steve Stéphane Alexandre's team then seized full control with a 5-18 third quarter and never looked back, stretching the lead to as much as +25 (41-66) in the fourth.
Captain Kasparas Voska (Season PPG: 31.00) was the decisive figure with 40 points, built on 15 made two-pointers, 7 free throws and one triple. He opened the second half with back-to-back baskets and fueled a 12-2 surge from 34-34 to 36-46. He kept scoring in waves in the fourth, adding multiple mid-range finishes and late free throws to close it out. Stefans Grandovskis (Season PPG: 8.25) supported with 8 points, including two threes, while Joaquym Branyan Questier (Season PPG: 8.92) and Damian Oliver Schuller also chipped in. Despite an unsportsmanlike foul in Q2, Robert Nicula hit a key three during the third-quarter run.
Mamer's offense was led by Mathieu Moccia (Season PPG: 16.15) with 17 points, and Ayoub Saoudaoui (Season PPG: 7.14) with 14, including two three-pointers. Captain Khan Eyal N'Guessan (13 years, FRA) added 7, and Tammo Becker (Season PPG: 6.85) had 7. Mamer produced 18 made two-pointers and 3 threes but only 4 free throws, while Résidence posted 25 twos, 4 threes and doubled Mamer at the line with 8 made free throws reflecting Walferdange's control inside and at the stripe.
With this result, Résidence remain first in the phase at 3-0 and are on a three-game winning streak. Mambra Mamer sit third at 1-2.
