Regular Season Round 24: Leuven - Antwerp 76-71

Date: March 17, 2012
Very important is a road loss of second ranked Antwerp Giants (14-7) against fifth ranked Leuven Bears (12-9) on Saturday night. Visiting Antwerp Giants were defeated by Leuven Bears in a tough game in Leuven 71-76. It ended at the same time the six-game winning streak of Antwerp Giants. It looked good early as Antwerp Giants took an 1-point lead at the end of first quarter. But then Leuven Bears had a 24-18 second period charge getting the lead and Antwerp Giants were not able to take back game control losing it eventually 71-76. Leuven Bears made 19-of-24 charity shots (79.2 percent) during the game. They also forced 21 Antwerp Giants turnovers. Antwerp Giants were plagued by 24 personal fouls down the stretch. The winners were led by American guard Brandon Freeman (191-83, college: UALR, agency: Court Side) who scored that evening 26 points and Samoan-American power forward John Tofi (203-84, college: UTEP) supported him with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Even 13 points and 8 rebounds by American forward Darnell Wilson (198-85, college: Canisius, agency: Court Side) did not help to save the game for Antwerp Giants. His fellow American import point guard Timothy Black (178-81, college: Barton, NC, agency: Limelight Hoops) added 13 points and 4 assists. Leuven Bears maintains fifth position with 12-9 record. Antwerp Giants at the other side dropped to the third place with seven games lost. Leuven Bears will play against league's leader Spirou Charleroi at home in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Antwerp Giants will play against Okapi Aalstar and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
