Windrose Giants Antwerp beat BBC Falco Gent 84–80 behind Zlatan Jakara's 26

Windrose Giants Antwerp B held off a late BBC Falco Gent rally to secure a four-point win in a tightly contested finish. The hosts controlled much of the second half but could not shake their guests down the stretch. Antwerp B opened a commanding 14-point lead early in the third quarter at 44–30, seemingly on course for a comfortable evening. Gent clawed back through the second half, however, and by the start of the fourth quarter trailed only 64–60. A devastating 11-0 run mid-way through the final frame pushed Antwerp B ahead 80–67, yet Gent refused to fold. The visitors chipped away and stayed within one possession inside the final two minutes, but Antwerp B's lead held firm at the final buzzer. Zlatan Jakara was the decisive force for Antwerp B, posting 26 points on efficient shooting (6/11 field goals, 3/7 from three, 11/12 free throws) while adding 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals. Seppe Voet muscled in a double-double off the bench—22 points and 11 rebounds on 10/18 shooting—and Joel Kevin Koung Poute contributed 13 points and 4 assists. Viktor Buysse led Gent with 24 points and 13 rebounds (12/14 shooting), and Joren Vermoesen added 21 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists. Their efforts came up just short. Antwerp B travel to AB0 LDP Donza on Saturday 10 October.
