Phantoms Basket Boom took control from the opening tip and never let go, routing St-Niklase Condors 85–70 in Group A play. The hosts led wire-to-wire, establishing a 25–15 cushion after the first quarter and then stretching it to 21 points late in the second (44–23 with 3:15 to play) before settling into halftime up 47–29. St-Niklase mounted a genuine threat in the third, outscoring Boom 25–13 to pull within six at 60–54, but Boom's depth proved decisive. A 25–16 fourth quarter sealed the comfortable win, with the visitors unable to sustain their comeback pressure. Joppe Bouckaert led the way with 22 points on efficient shooting (8/17 FG, 4/4 FT) plus 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Mitchel Gorremans added 20 points and a near-perfect 7/9 from the floor while running the offense (5 assists), and Saliou Seye chipped in 14 points on 6/8 shooting. Senne Geukens kept St-Niklase competitive with 23 points and 9 rebounds despite a quiet night from three (0/4), while Milan Palet contributed 12 points on hot outside shooting (3/3 from deep). Boom travel to Royal IV Brussels on Sunday. St-Niklase host Union BC Quaregnon on Saturday.
