Brussels Basketball rout CB Liège by 24 behind Yannick Dammen's 18
Brussels Basketball blew past CB Liège 94–70, a 24-point margin that reflects how thoroughly the hosts controlled the second half. The game opened as a proper contest—Liège jumped to a 7-point lead early in the first quarter—but Brussels found its rhythm and led 28–21 after one. By half-time, the score had tightened to 42–43 in Liège's favor, five lead changes and multiple ties keeping it competitive. The third quarter is where Brussels took over. A decisive 18-0 run, spanning midway through the period, swung momentum decisively; by the end of the quarter, Brussels led 71–55. Liège couldn't close the gap. Brussels outscored them 29–12 in the third alone and held firm through the fourth, building the lead to 24 by the final minute. Yannick Dammen led the way with 18 points on efficient 6/9 shooting, adding 4 rebounds and 2 steals. Tucker Richardson contributed 13 points and 5 rebounds on 5/8 from the field, while Jared Kimbrough scored 10 on a perfect 3/3 from two-point range. For Liège, Clemant Matisse finished with a team-high 19 points and 8 rebounds despite shooting 9/20, and Mathis Bizimana recorded a double-double (16 points, 11 rebounds), though neither could stem the tide. Brussels travel to ZZ Leiden on Saturday. Liège host Hubo Limburg United on Friday.

Loved the energy and ethusiasm of the CB Liège Belgians. Matisse and Bizimana proving all the good we've said about them these past couple of seasons. Obviously, Brussels did correct the situation pretty quickly in the second half.
