Val-Dieu Spirou Basket rout Donar Groningen by 27 behind Douglas Konieczny Jr.'s 23
Val-Dieu Spirou Basket dismantled Donar Groningen 90-63 to hand the visitors their first loss of the season. A 27-point margin — and the story was set in the second quarter alone, when Spirou outscored Donar 28-11 to take a 25-point lead into half-time at 55-30. The damage only widened. Donar scraped together 13 points in the third while Spirou added 20, including an 11-0 run that pushed the lead to 35 points with 3:40 left in the quarter. By the end of three, Spirou led 75-43 — a game already decided. Donar won the fourth 20-15, a hollow consolation that left them at 2-1 and Spirou now level at 2-1 after their opening loss. Douglas Konieczny Jr. led the charge with 23 points on 9-13 shooting and 3-4 from three. Adedayo Polet added 22 points, including a sharp 5-9 from distance. Eduardo Andre controlled the glass with 9 rebounds and 2 blocks across 11 points on efficient 5-7 shooting. Michael McCalister's 20 points on 8-14 for Donar were good work in a lost cause; Aleksandre Merkviladze managed 12 points but needed 13 shots to get them. Donar travel to Partena Professional Okapi Aalst on Sunday 25 October, hoping to bounce back. Spirou stay home to face Coretec Oostende on Friday 23 October.
