Sparta's coach Olaf Stolz rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Newly promoted Basket Esch maintains second place with 11-4 record behind leader T71. Sparta lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the fifth position with seven games lost. Basket Esch are looking forward to face league's leader T71 in Dudelange in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Sparta will play on the road against Musel Pikes (#6) in Stadrbredimus and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
