Martin Balthazar finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists to lead Ninane Promotion past Royal Castors Braine 94–74 on the road. The 20-point margin was not close; Ninane controlled the game throughout Group B play, and Balthazar's two-way efficiency — shooting 7 of 10 from the floor while also recording 2 blocks — anchored the win. Balthazar's rebounding work (11 boards in 34 minutes) was particularly vital in limiting Braine's second chances. He added a steal and turned the ball over four times, though he managed to stay off the foul sheet entirely, a clean night defensively. Ninane's next outing will test whether this road dominance travels further into the group stage.
