Plamedi Ngolo Masaka finished with 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block across 26 minutes as Royal Nivelles Basketball put away St-Niklase Condors 84–69 at home in Group A play. The forward shot 5 of 9 from the field and 4 of 7 from the line, anchoring a 15-point winning margin that never truly tightened once Royal Nivelles established control. Masaka's rebounding work—particularly on a night when the home side held clear glass advantage—proved decisive in a Group A matchup where second chances mattered. Four turnovers kept the performance from pristine, but the efficiency was there: 55.6% shooting in a game Royal Nivelles never surrendered. The win positions Royal Nivelles well in group play. Next up for the hosts is another road test in the division's upper tier.
