Jens Bouckaert leads Basics Melsele-Beveren past Avanti Brugge 2015 with 19
Jens Bouckaert finished with 19 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals and a perfect 4-for-4 from the free-throw line in 31 minutes, steering Basics Melsele-Beveren to an 85–72 win over Avanti Brugge at 't wit zand. He shot 6 of 12 from the field and made 3 of 8 three-pointers — efficient enough to carry the load without needing to force it. The 13-point margin was comfortable, but Bouckaert's defensive intensity on the perimeter (4 steals in 31 minutes) was the real difference. Brugge never mounted a serious threat once Melsele-Beveren found its rhythm, and Bouckaert's ability to create space with the three-ball — 3 for 8 — kept the home side's offence loose when it needed to be. Next up: Melsele-Beveren heads into its next fixture with this kind of balanced scoring and ball security (just 1 turnover) as the template that works. Avanti Brugge will need to regroup.
