Regular Season Round 16: Gent Dragons - Antwerp 54-56

Date: January 22, 2011
Ninth-ranked Optima Gent (2-11) used its home court advantage to challenge fourth ranked Antwerp Giants (8-6) on Saturday. The visitors from Antwerp managed to secure only two-point victory 56-54. However their fans expected much easier game. The guests trailed by 13 points after three quarters before their 22-7 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Antwerp Giants dominated on the defensive end, holding Optima Gent to just 7 points in fourth quarter. The winners were led by American guard Timothy Black (178-81, college: Barton (NC), agency: Limelight Hoops) who scored that evening 16 points and Tunisian center Salah Mejri (214-86) supported him with 10 points and 6 rebounds. Even a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds by American power forward Monwell Randle (203-83, college: SE Missouri St., agency: Court Side) did not help to save the game for Optima Gent. International guard Lionel Bosco (176-81, agency: Court Side) added 16 points and 5 rebounds for lost side. Optima Gent's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Antwerp Giants maintains fourth position with 8-6 record. Optima Gent lost seventh consecutive game. They stay at the bottom place with 11 games lost. Antwerp Giants will meet at home Leuven Bears (#7) in the next round. Optima Gent will play against VOO Verviers-Pepinster and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
