PWC Luxembourg controlled the game at lvauban, beating Société Générale-SES 89-61 after leading all four quarters. The hosts jumped out 11-2 behind Federico Bianchi (PWC), who opened with 9 early points including a personal 5-0 spurt. The cushion grew to 21-14 after 10 minutes and 44-31 at halftime, despite a choppy second period that featured technicals on PWC (Pietro Falaschi, Carlos Galan) and SOG's coach Hachim El Basri (C1).
The key stretch came midway through Q2: from 23-20, Davide Pochettino (PWC) strung together three consecutive scoring trips (2+1+3) for a 6-0 personal run, igniting a 17-6 team burst to 40-26. SOG's Henok Affa (SOG) kept his side afloat with steady scoring and finished with 25, but the visitors' chase repeatedly stalled by fouls. In the third quarter, SOG committed a flurry of consecutive personals, and by the end of the night three key players had fouled out: Georgi Ganchev, Sofiane Bah (13 points) and Raimondas Sasnaukas (10). SOG nonetheless trimmed the gap to 64-52 on a late three from Mohamed Hakim Hammami.
Coach Carlos Alegret Ros's team closed the door with a 7-0 start to the fourth and, soon after, a 14-1 run that stretched the lead to a game-high 30 (88-58). Pochettino led PWC with 28 points, driving the half-court offense and scoring repeatedly in the lane. Support came from Ilija Delas (10), Bianchi (9) and the player-coach Alegret Ros (9), plus solid contributions from Mario Anic (7), Georgios Toulias (7) and Falaschi (8). For SOG, Affa's 25 stood out, with Bah and Sasnaukas providing secondary scoring before foul trouble cut their minutes. PWC's 25-9 fourth quarter and disciplined finishing stretches decided it.
