House of Talents Spurs Kortrijk rout CityX Mons by 20 behind Jarne Lesuisse's 12
House of Talents Spurs Kortrijk pulled clear late to beat CityX Mons 83–63, moving to 2–5 in the BNXT League regular season. The 20-point final margin understates none of what happened: Kortrijk controlled this game from the opening quarter and never looked back. Mons stayed competitive early—four lead changes and a tie through the first half kept the scoreline tight at 16–14 after one. But a dominant second quarter, won 24–14, gave Kortrijk a 12-point cushion at the half (40–28). Mons rallied in the third, outscoring Kortrijk 22–18 to cut the deficit to eight heading into the final frame, but Kortrijk's fourth-quarter defense was suffocating. A 25–13 fourth-quarter win sealed it; Kortrijk led by as much as 20 with 22 seconds left. Jamarii D'aje Thomas was the difference. The forward made 9 of 11 field goals and 3 of 5 threes, posting 27 points with 5 rebounds—efficient and relentless. Jarne Lesuisse added 12 points and 7 rebounds off the bench. Marvyn Wade kept Mons in the fight with 18 points but couldn't generate enough: he made just 2 of 9 from the field and relied on 13 free throws to stay afloat. Mons drop to 0–7, still searching for their first win. Kortrijk look to build on this one when they visit CB Liège on Friday.
