League leaders T71 Dudelange remained unbeaten in the final phase, winning 108-49 at fifth-placed Arantia Larochette and stretching their overall run to 16 straight victories. It was also T71's third win against Arantia this season, after 82-37 and 105-37.
The game was largely decided by T71's pace and repeated scoring runs. After Arantia had tied at 2-2, T71 went on a 9-0 surge to move to 17-4 and closed the first quarter 29-14.

Arantia's leading season scorer Michele Elsen (Season PPG: 14.80) had already reached three fouls before the break, which complicated the home side's rotation.
T71 kept control after halftime.
