Regular Season Round 35: Leuven - Brussels 85-69

Date: May 18, 2018
Bottom-ranked Leuven Bears managed to get a seventh victory, breaking the series of five consecutive losses on Friday night. This time they won against eighth-ranked Basic-Fit Brussels 85-69. It's especially surprising that the victory came too easily and 16-point difference proves that Leuven Bears was well-prepared to that game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists comparing to just 13 passes made by Basic-Fit Brussels' players. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Leuven Bears made 7 blocks. It was an exceptional evening for forward Rafael Bogaerts (198-93) who led the winners and scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). Guard Anthony Lambot (185-94, agency: Promotex) accounted for 14 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists for the winning side. Four Leuven Bears players scored in double figures. American forward Jeremy Simmons (204-89, college: Charleston) came up with 12 points and 6 rebounds and the other American import guard Mike Smith (198-87, college: E.Tenn.St.) added 15 points (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) respectively for Basic-Fit Brussels in the defeat. Both coaches tested many bench players saving starting five for next games. Leuven Bears (7-28) moved-up to ninth place, which they share with Liege. Loser Basic-Fit Brussels keep the eighth position with 24 games lost. Leuven Bears will again meet higher ranked Basic-Fit Brussels (#8) on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Basic-Fit Brussels will have a break next round.
