Val-Dieu Spirou Basket hold off Rotterdam City Basketball 77–74 in a nail-biter behind Sam Hofman's 20

Val-Dieu Spirou Basket held off a late Rotterdam City Basketball surge to win 77–74, moving to 4–2 in the BNXT League regular season. It was a genuine close finish — the teams traded leads four times and matched scores twice, but Sam Hofman and Lukijan Zecevic kept the hosts in front when it mattered most. The first quarter set an early tone: Val-Dieu ripped off a 7–0 run mid-quarter to establish control and took the frame 20–17. Rotterdam clawed back to trail by just one at half-time, 31–30, after outscoring Val-Dieu 13–11 in the second. The turning point came in the third, where Val-Dieu dominated 24–17 to open a commanding 8–point margin, 55–47, heading into the fourth. Rotterdam refused to fold. They won the fourth quarter 27–22 and kept it a one-possession game inside the final two minutes, but Val-Dieu's shooting depth proved decisive. Hofman finished 20 points on 7/14 shooting with a sharp 6/12 from three, while Zecevic added 15 points on near-perfect efficiency (5/7 FG, 4/6 three). Alonso Meana led Rotterdam with 20 points and 6 assists, and Kenyuoe Ondaan chipped in 15, but their run came too late. Val-Dieu stretched their winning record against a Rotterdam side that drops to 2–4, ending their two-game streak. Next up for Val-Dieu is a home meeting with CB Liège on Friday 13 November.
