Regular Season Round 18: Antwerp - Mechelen 81-40

Date: January 30, 2026
The most interesting game of round 18 was a derby match between two teams from Belgium. Second ranked Antwerp Giants outleveled visiting Kangoeroes (11-7) 81-40. Antwerp forced 21 Mechelen turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists comparing to just 5 passes made by Mechelen's players. It was a good game for American guard Enoch Cheeks (190-2001, college: Dayton) who led his team to a victory with 19 points. Niels De Ridder (195-2001) contributed with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. Four Antwerp Giants players scored in double figures. Swedish forward Zaba Bangala (201-2001) replied with 5 points and 8 rebounds and American point guard Joshua Heath (186-1994, college: Georgia Tech) added 11 points in the effort for Mechelen. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Antwerp maintains second position with 15-3 record behind leader Oostende. Mechelen lost third consecutive game. They keep the seventh place with seven games lost. They share the position with Brussels. Antwerp are looking forward to face Groningen (#9) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Mechelen will have a break next round.
