Antwerp Giants beat Heroes Den Bosch 125 to 86 in the BNXT-league on Friday evening. The visitors completed a clean three-game winning streak and remain top of the table without dropping a single point. Heroes, meanwhile, stay in twelfth place after three matches and two defeats.
Antwerp have now won every game they've played this season. They came through against Kortrijk Spiders, Falko, and Mons-Eno before this one, and the margin against Heroes suggests they're finding their rhythm. Three wins, no losses, no points conceded — the table reflects what's happened on the floor.
Heroes Den Bosch have struggled to string results together. They beat Rotterdam comfortably but lost to Zwolle twice recently, and this latest exit keeps them adrift at the bottom. To be fair, they've been playing against stiffer opposition now, and it shows.
By then we'd already called this one. Our prediction ahead of kickoff backed the visitors at 54 per cent confidence, and the result followed that line. Antwerp's form had been consistent enough to justify the lean — they'd won their previous three and kept scoring in bunches.
The difference between the sides was clear from the opening minutes. Antwerp moved the ball well and found space where Heroes hadn't set up properly. The hosts switched off at the back more than once, and each mistake was punished. We'd watched them play in the past and remembered how they used to compete — this wasn't that side.
And here's the thing about standings like this. One team sits top with three wins and nothing to lose. The other sits twelfth with one victory and two defeats. The gap isn't just in points — it's in momentum, and Antwerp are riding it.
