Final recap

AB InBev Leuven Bears beat BC Guco Lier 86–69 behind Sebastian Thomas's 24

AB InBev Leuven Bears' fourth-quarter stranglehold ended BC Guco Lier's run in the Beker van België. A back-and-forth first half—11 lead changes, 6 ties—saw Lier briefly up nine with 1:49 left in the second quarter, but Leuven clawed back with a composed 10-0 run midway through Q2 to reach halftime level at 43–44. The third quarter stayed tight (59–62 after three), but Leuven's defense tightened in the fourth: they outscored Lier 24–10 to run away to a 17-point win. Sebastian Thomas ran the Leuven offense, finishing 24 PTS on 9/21 shooting with 5 AST, while Jonas Visser anchored the glass with a double-double of 17 PTS and 11 REB (8/13 FG). Tim Waerniers chipped in 9 PTS and drilled all three of his three-point attempts off the bench. Andrej Cuyvers was Lier's lifeline—32 PTS on 12/24 shooting, 5/5 from the line—but lacked the support needed when it mattered most. Osahon Obasohan added 13 PTS but couldn't sustain a secondary offense down the stretch. Leuven's poise in the final eight minutes proved the difference. Both teams' campaigns in this cup now conclude.
