The game between Top Four teams took place in Nijmegen. 3rd ranked host M.Magixx (12-8) was smashed by first ranked Den Bosch (18-3) 104-85. The guests trailed by 3 points at the halftime before their 58-36 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Den Bosch shot 62.3 percent from the field and made 17-of-21 free shots (81.0 percent) during the game. It was a great shooting night for Den Bosch especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 68.8 percentage. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. American guard Andre Young (175-90, college: Clemson) scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals to lead the charge for the winners and the former international forward Stefan Wessels (203-84, agency: R.H.Consultancy) chipped in 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) during the contest.

Defending champion maintains first position with 18-3 record. M.Magixx at the other side dropped to the fourth place with eight games lost. Den Bosch will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. M.Magixx will play at home against Groningen (#3) in Groningen and it may be a tough game between close rivals. The game in Den Helder was also worth to mention about. 5th ranked Leeuwarden (11-9) played at the court of sixth ranked Den Helder K. (11-9). Den Helder K. defeated Leeuwarden 65-52. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Leeuwarden. American guard Mark Hill (180-87, college: CS Northridge, agency: Three Eye Sports) notched 20 points to lead the effort and Ousman Krubally supported him with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Even 8 points and 8 rebounds by American forward Samme Givens (195, college: Drexel) did not help to save the game for Leeuwarden. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Den Helder K. moved-up to fifth place, which they share with defeated Leeuwarden. Den Helder K. will play against higher ranked Groningen (#3) in Groningen in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Leeuwarden will play at home against the league's second-placed Leiden and hopes to get back on the winning track.
There were no shocking results in the other games in round 18: Groningen won against Amsterdam on the opponent's court 77-60. Zwolle unfortunately lost to Weert in a home game 67-77. Leiden managed to beat Rotterdam on the road 82-70.
Very expected game when 9th ranked Amsterdam (2-18) was defeated at home by third ranked Groningen (13-7) 77-60. Amsterdam was ahead by 1 point at the halftime before a 43-25 second half run of Groningen. Groningen maintains third position with 13-7 record having six points less than leader Den Bosch.

Amsterdam will play against Zwolle and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams when eighth ranked Weert (7-13) defeated on the road 7th ranked Zwolle (10-11) 77-67. Weert made 17-of-22 charity shots (77.3 percent) during the game. American center Antwan Carter (198, college: Longwood, agency: Court Side) notched 22 points and 7 rebounds to lead the effort and the former international center Kenneth van Kempen (208-87, college: Ohio, agency: Court Side) supported him with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Four Weert players scored in double figures. Even a double-double of 14 points and 15 rebounds by American forward Darryl Webb (198-88, college: Indiana, PA, agency: Pro One Sports) did not help to save the game for Zwolle. Power forward Kenrick Zondervan (206-85, college: Cent.Florida, agency: Court Side) added 11 points and 11 rebounds. Weert maintains eighth position with 7-13 record. Zwolle at the other side keeps the seventh place with 11 games lost. Weert will play against higher ranked Den Helder K. (#6) at home in the next round and it may be quite challenging game.

Not a big story in a game when 10th ranked Rotterdam (1-19) was defeated at home by second ranked Leiden (16-4) 82-70. The game without a history.

International Worthy de Jong (194-88, agency: R.H.Consultancy) notched a double-double by scoring 19 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals to lead the effort and Canadian forward Ross Bekkering (203-87) supported him with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Even 24 points and 8 rebounds by American guard Anthony Miles (182-89, college: Lamar) did not help to save the game for Rotterdam. His fellow American import power forward Cameron Echols (203-81, college: Ball St., agency: R.H.Consultancy) added 14 points and 6 rebounds. Rotterdam's coach Randy Wiel rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Leiden maintains second position with 16-4 record having just three points less than leader Den Bosch.
