Heroes Den Bosch dismantled Rotterdam City Basketball 79–50 in a wire-to-wire rout that left no doubt about the gap between the two sides. Den Bosch seized control from the opening minute and never relinquished it. A 10-point cushion after the first quarter ballooned to 12–0 in the second, pushing the lead to 33–21 at half-time. The visitors trailed by 14 entering the fourth quarter and had no answer there—Den Bosch outscored Rotterdam 28–13 in the final frame, reaching a 31-point advantage with 01:08 remaining to close out a comprehensive win. JJ Harper led the charge with 17 points on efficient 5/8 shooting, including 6-of-6 from the free-throw line. Maik Bouwer delivered a double-double, 15 points and 11 rebounds, while Niels Van Holst added 13 off 5/8 from the floor. Rotterdam's Isaiah Gaines managed 14 points on solid 5/10 shooting, but support elsewhere dried up—Marcus Tomashek and Lagio Grantsaan each scored 10 but combined to shoot 7/22 from the field. Den Bosch host Windrose Giants Antwerp on Saturday 17 October.
