Royal IV Brussels - A · 22 min★★★★★
23 pts5 reb5 ast97.5 TIB EFF
Jad Riahi finished with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in just 22 minutes as Royal IV Brussels held off CEP Fleurus 90–81 at the Palais du Midi. The efficiency was evident: 5 of 10 from the field, 5 of 9 from three, and 8 of 9 at the free-throw line, with a clean sheet on turnovers.
The nine-point margin does not fully capture how much Riahi's accuracy kept Royal IV Brussels ahead in a Group A contest that CEP Fleurus made competitive through the final stretch. In a division built on depth and consistency, a night where one player moves that efficiently—shooting over 50% overall and better than 55% from range—tends to decide close games.
Royal IV Brussels next faces their next Group A assignment.

Royal IV Brussels held off a second-half comeback to edge CEP Fleurus 90–81 in Group A play, a hard-fought win that required a decisive fourth-quarter surge to bury a team that had clawed back from 15 down.
The hosts came out sharp. Royal IV Brussels raced to 25–13 after one quarter, then stretched the lead to 15 points early in the second (30–15 with 8:36 to play in that frame). CEP Fleurus, though, chipped away. A 21-point second quarter brought them within 40–34 at the half, and they kept climbing through the third. By late in the third, Fleurus had taken the lead entirely—up 61–55 with just over a minute left in the quarter.
Royal IV Brussels had no room for hesitation. An 8-0 run midway through the fourth flipped the script back to 63–61, and the hosts never surrendered again, outscoring Fleurus 29–20 in the final frame to secure a five-point cushion.
Jad Riahi steered the home side. He finished with 23 points on efficient shooting (5/10 twos, 5/9 threes) to go with five rebounds, five assists, and a steal. Kenan Mbolhi Senga added 12 points on 6/8 from the field. For Fleurus, Nathan Flonet's 19 points on 7/12 shooting kept them competitive throughout.
Royal IV Brussels host Royal Nivelles Basketball on Saturday, 3 October. Fleurus travel to RBC Namur Belgrade the next day.
Anthony Lambot has been CEP Fleurus' engine this season, averaging 16.4 points per game, and he'll find Royal IV Brussels' defense waiting at Palais du Midi. Christopher De Medina anchors the Brussels attack at 12.8 PPG — a different offensive rhythm, but one built to match intensity in a Top Division Men 2 fixture that tips off in roughly five hours.
These two clubs have a legitimate matchup here. Lambot's scoring punch is the kind of threat that forces a disciplined defensive game, while De Medina's consistency has kept Brussels competitive. The balance of who controls pace and spacing will likely decide how wide the margin runs.
Get in front of a screen for this one — the Belgian domestic game doesn't offer many better windows into how scoring backcourts operate under pressure.

Wannes Tomlow took over inside for Gembo Borgerhout on the road, finishing with 28 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals across 34 minutes as the visitors held off CEP Fleurus 82–70 in Group A play.
The Borgerhout forward was nearly unstoppable in the paint, connecting on 11 of 14 field-goal attempts. He drew fouls at a steady rate too, though his 6-for-12 showing at the line suggests CEP's defence found ways to contest even when Tomlow had position. Three turnovers in a dozen-point margin is noise; what mattered was the efficiency — when he went up, the ball went in.
CEP kept it respectable through stretches but never found an answer for Tomlow's touch. Borgerhout's 12-point road win was built on that foundation, and now both clubs turn to their next fixture in what shapes as a tight Group A race.

Gembo Borgerhout held firm in the fourth quarter to beat CEP Fleurus 82–70, a 12-point margin that reflected their control down the stretch. The game itself was tighter than the scoreline suggests — five lead changes and seven ties kept it competitive through the first half, but Gembo's depth and shooting touch proved the difference when it mattered.
A 13-0 run midway through the first quarter gave Gembo an early foundation they never fully surrendered. CEP stayed close at the half (42–46), then clawed level after three quarters (60–63), but Gembo outscored them 19–10 in the fourth to seal it. With 31 seconds left, they led by their full 12, and CEP had no answer.
Wannes Tomlow was the engine: 28 points on 11/14 shooting and 12 rebounds for a double-double that set the tempo. Quinten Smout added 16 points with four three-pointers, offering the perimeter threat CEP couldn't contain. For CEP, Jeremy Conreur was efficient inside (21 points, 9/11 from the field), but Anthony Lambot's 14 points on 5/14 shooting showed how Gembo's defense tightened when needed.
CEP visit Royal IV Brussels on Friday the 18th. Gembo host Hasselt BT the following evening.

Anthony Lambot lit up the scoresheet for CEP Fleurus with 33 points on 11-of-16 shooting, including 5 three-pointers made from eight attempts, while adding 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals across 23 minutes in a 91–78 victory over Basics Melsele-Beveren in the Beker van België group stage.
The efficiency was striking — 6 of 7 free throws sealed it — and Lambot's offensive rhythm gave CEP Fleurus clear separation in the second half. The 13-point margin reflected a controlled performance at home rather than a close contest that needed heroics late, but Lambot's shooting stroke and rebound activity set the tempo throughout.
The result closed CEP Fleurus's group stage campaign. Lambot's 33-point outing delivered a statement finish to their tournament run.

Anthony Lambot shot the lights out in 23 minutes. The CEP Fleurus forward finished with 33 points on 11-of-16 shooting, including 5 three-pointers on 8 attempts, to go with 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in his side's 91–78 win over Basics Melsele-Beveren at home in the Beker van België group stage.
That kind of efficiency—68 percent from the floor, 63 percent from deep, 86 percent from the line—is the kind of night that decides games. Lambot's scoring punch kept CEP Fleurus ahead throughout, and he moved fluidly between catch-and-shoot looks and offensive rebounding work to keep Melsele-Beveren at arm's length.
The 13-point margin reflected the gulf between the two sides' scoring touch. For CEP Fleurus, this marks the end of their group campaign. Melseke-Beveren will look to bounce back in their remaining fixtures.

CEP Fleurus controlled the second half to beat Basics Melsele-Beveren 91–78 and cap their Group Stage campaign with a decisive win.
Melsele-Beveren came out hot, leading 25–16 after the opening quarter. CEP clawed back to within one by halftime, trailing 48–37, but the real turn came in the third. A 29–13 quarter gave Fleurus a five-point edge heading into the fourth, and they never looked back, outscoring their opponents 25–17 to close out a 13-point victory.
Anthony Lambot was the difference. He finished with 33 points on 11/16 shooting, adding 5/8 from three and 9 rebounds to lead CEP's charge. Nathan Flonet chipped in 14 points off the bench. Tiago Nunes e Santos Cruz led Melsele-Beveren with 18 points and 5 rebounds, while Zowie Timmerman contributed 14 points and 5 assists, but it was not enough to break Fleurus's second-half grip.
You have reached the end.
