AB InBev Leuven Bears held off a late charge from Val-Dieu Spirou Basket to take a four-point win, 69–65, in a BNXT League regular-season game decided in the final minutes. Leuven controlled the first half, building a 45–32 lead by the break. They extended that advantage into the third quarter, stretching it to 15 points at 59–44 with 2:07 left in the frame. A 10-0 run midway through the third, moving the score from 47–43 to 57–43, had them firmly in command. But Spirou's second-half resistance was real: the visitors outscored Leuven 18–16 in the third and 15–8 in the fourth, clawing back to make it a one-possession game inside the final two minutes. Leuven's defence held just long enough. Jonas Visser led the hosts with 23 points on an efficient 10-of-12 shooting, adding 7 rebounds and 2 steals. Sebastian Thomas contributed 18 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, though he struggled from distance (0-for-4 from three). For Spirou, Douglas Konieczny Jr. carried the load with 24 points on 9-of-15 shooting to go with 6 rebounds, but the offensive balance never quite materialised: Sam Hofman and Adedayo Polet managed 9 and 8 points respectively. Leuven travel to Donar Groningen on Tuesday 6 October.
