Bms Herlev — Team FOG Naestved: 55:117, Basketligaen

Naestved run riot in Herlev

Naestved beat BMS Herlev 117 to 55 in the Basketligaen on Saturday. The visitors were never really tested as they built a commanding lead and never looked back. We had called for this result with some confidence before the game, and the match unfolded exactly as we expected.

Naestved's shooting was clinical from the opening tip. They hit 43 field goals from 75 attempts, including seven three-pointers, while Herlev managed just 19 from 66 attempts. The visitors kept knocking on the door with every possession, and Herlev's defence kept folding.

By then the game was effectively over, though Naestved kept going. They won the rebound battle 54 to 20, with 17 offensive boards meaning second-chance points poured in. And here's the thing — Herlev committed 28 turnovers, which gave Naestved even more opportunities to extend their lead.

The statistics tell the full story. Naestved recorded 25 assists compared to Herlev's 11, showing how much better they moved the ball. They also won the steal battle 18 to 8 and made fewer fouls, 16 to 22, which kept Herlev on the court and in the game longer than they deserved.

The result leaves Naestved in second place with 22 games played, 19 wins and three defeats. They extended their winning run and put further pressure on the top of the table. For Herlev it was another heavy defeat in a difficult season.
