🏀 Final: Phantoms Basket Boom 82–56 Royal Nivelles Basketball. Top: Joppe Bouckaert 29 PTS.

Joppe Bouckaert finished with 29 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists as Phantoms Basket Boom dismantled Royal Nivelles Basketball 82–56 at home in Group A. The 26-point margin was not close, and Bouckaert's efficiency was the backbone: 11 of 17 from the field, 4 of 8 from three, and a perfect 3 for 3 at the line in 28 minutes. Bouckaert's ball movement—five assists with only two turnovers—kept the rhythm steady while he carried the scoring load. Royal Nivelles had no answer for his range or his touch around the rim. The game was decided early, and Phantoms Basket Boom's control never wavered. A dominant home win, built on a night when their lead scorer imposed his will without needing to force it.

Joppe Bouckaert carved up Royal Nivelles for 29 points in 28 minutes, shooting 11 of 17 from the field and 4 of 8 from three, as Phantoms Basket Boom ran away with a 26-point home win, 82–56, in Group A. The performance was nearly flawless: Bouckaert added 5 rebounds and 5 assists while committing only 2 turnovers and drawing no fouls. He went 3 of 3 at the free-throw line. Boom's offense moved through him seamlessly, and he punished every opening in Nivelles' defense. The margin tells the full story—this was a blowout, not a contest. Bouckaert's efficiency and control set the tone early and Boom never looked back.

Shawn Mousseau's 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting propelled St.-Truidense past Phantoms Basket Boom 79–69 at home, a ten-point margin that reflected control rather than drama. The forward worked efficiently through thirty minutes, adding six rebounds and four assists while turning the ball over just once, and his perimeter touch—2 of 2 from three—gave St.-Truidense a spacing weapon that the defence had to respect. Mousseau's game was built on clean basketball. Three steals showed his activity on the other end; he fouled only three times across the full half-hour. The free-throw line went unused (0 of 0), a sign he wasn't forcing contact but rather letting the jumper and the drive do their work within flow. St.-Truidense's ten-point win was a thorough one, and Mousseau's balance—ball movement, shot-making, defence—was the template for how they did it. Group A play continues ahead.
