CGDIS Luxembourg opened this Bascol Division 3 championship round with a 59-43 away win over Staater Léiwen, built mainly on a dominant first quarter and a controlled finish.
Staater started well and moved in front 6-2 behind early baskets from Alex Gomes Ganeto (SLW) and Louis Meyer (SLW). The game then turned sharply. CGDIS answered with a 10-0 run to take command at 14-6, and the visitors kept rolling. Michael M'Putu (CGD) imposed himself quickly, while Jérôme Käfer (CGD), Christophe Theiss (CGD) and Win Schuman (CGD) added efficient support. At the end of the first period, CGDIS had already created a 31-15 cushion, with their highest lead later reaching 18 points.
The second quarter was very defensive. Staater limited CGDIS to only 2 points, but managed only 4 themselves, so the gap stayed large at 33-19. That low-scoring stretch kept SLW alive without really shifting momentum.
The home side produced its best spell after the break. Keven Reuland (SLW) became the central scorer, and Meyer helped bring Staater closer. SLW won the third quarter 15-10 and then opened the fourth with another 4 straight points, cutting the deficit to 43-38. That was the key moment of pressure.
CGDIS reacted well. M'Putu scored again, Käfer added 5 points in the last period, and the visitors answered Staater's push with a decisive 16-5 closing phase. M'Putu finished with 20 points, Käfer with 13 and Theiss with 6. For Staater, Reuland stood out with 18 points, while Meyer and Kevin Andrade Alves (SLW) each scored 8.
