On Friday 7 and Saturday 8 February 2025, Game Day 20 of the Men's Basketball Enovos League saw all the favourites secure victories - apart from the league leaders, who suffered a rare defeat.
With just two games remaining in the regular season, Etzella Ettelbruck saw their five-game winning streak come to an end. The league leaders, who had recorded eighteen victories this season, suffered a setback on the road against AB Contern (12:8). The visitors started strong, winning the first two quarters and heading into the half-time break with a 12-point advantage 40:28.
However, Contern mounted a strong comeback, reducing the deficit to a single point before surging ahead in the final quarter to claim a 82:76 victory. Riley James Grigsby (20 points) and Tyrell Daniel Sturdivant (25 points) were instrumental in securing the home side's triumph.
Meanwhile, the second- and third-placed teams in the standings continued their strong form with important wins. T71 Dudelange eased past struggling Musel Pikes in an away fixture, securing a dominant 84:61 victory. Guards Edward Colbert 30 points and 11 rebounds and Brandon Kenneth Randolph 18 points and 13 rebounds both recorded double-doubles in the win.
Amicale Steesel, currently third in the league, also cruised to victory on the road, defeating US Heffingen 91:63. The hosts, playing without professional players, struggled to keep up, while Amicale's forward Elyjah Tremel Goss impressed with 21 points and 16 rebounds.
