After 45 minutes of razor-sharp basketball, the visitors came out on top. Q1 & Q2: Kortrijk Storm and Limburg Resilience The Spurs truly burst out of the starting blocks. Driven by a razor-sharp Jarne Lesuisse (11 points in the first quarter) and the orchestration of Kihei Clark, Limburg United was driven into a defensive quagmire. With a blistering pace and accurate three-pointers, Kortrijk opened up an early gap: 30-19. In the second quarter, Limburg recovered. While Darren Williams dropped bomb after bomb for the Spurs (3 three-pointers in Q2), the visitors found their rhythm through Jonas Delalieux. The Spurs' lead dwindled visibly, but thanks to a buzzer-beater by Bram Bogaerts, the West Flemish side went into halftime with a narrow lead: 55-52. Q3 & Q4: United's Three-Point Rain After the break, the game turned around. Limburg United unleashed their fury from the three-point line. Jalen Blackmon and Noah Baumann bombarded the Kortrijk rim with deadly precision. The Spurs struggled to stem the Limburg offensive waves and found themselves trailing after the third quarter: 71-78. The fourth quarter became an emotional rollercoaster. The Spurs refused to give up. Ithiel Horton stepped up when necessary, and together with Sam Hofman, the Spurs fought their way back point by point. In a thrilling final minute, Kihei Clark put the Spurs ahead, but an ice-cold three-pointer from Noah Baumann forced overtime in the very last seconds: 100-100. OT: The Decision at the Free Throw Line In the five minutes of extra time, it became a physical battle of attrition. Sam Hofman and Ithiel Horton initially gave the Spurs the lead, but the coolness of Limburg captain Marijn Ververs proved decisive. Ververs orchestrated his team and remained flawless from the free throw line (12/12 in the game). In the final seconds, Kortrijk had chances to tie the game via Darren Williams and a last-ditch three-point attempt by Clark, but the ball simply didn't go in.
