Niels Van Den Eynde put Partena Professional Okapi Aalst on his back in Mechelen, finishing with 23 points, 6 assists and 4 steals across 29 minutes as the visitors pulled away to a 94–79 road win. He shot 10 of 15 from the floor and moved the ball when defenses tightened, orchestrating the kind of efficient two-way night that kept Kangoeroes Basket Mechelen at arm's length throughout. A 15-point margin on the road is no accident. Van Den Eynde's 66.7% field-goal clip and willingness to create for others—he had more assists than turnovers despite a busy offensive load—set the tone early and never let Mechelen climb back into it. The five turnovers are a blemish on an otherwise clean sheet, but his hands on defense (those four steals) more than compensated. Partena Professional Okapi Aalst returns to action next, while Mechelen faces the challenge of regrouping after a lopsided home defeat.
