Two turns before the end of the regular season of the basketball championship in the Netherlands, with today's showdown having unilateral interest.
Historic Den Bosch is in third place, with two points less than Gronigen, and with today's victory it surpasses the equalizer with the best goal average in the total after the games were shared in the games. Den Bosch won her previous game and now travels to a home where she only counts victories this year, but also in recent years. In particular, 2009 in 11 matches wins it continuously, and this year has already passed once from Weert to 71-89. With today's victory and another one in the next match virtually locks the second place, giving it an advantage for the play-offs and passing bye in the semi-finals!
Weert is indifferent. It is in the penultimate position with a difference of two points from the last, and with less. The play-off does not overtake them and is not in danger since the latter has only one match against Gronigen, although in the event of a tie it is superior to one and has a better goal average.
The motivation is with Den Bosch who wants a big victory to open another goal average goal and occupy the second place. Last year he reached the semi-final stage and this year he has another chance to go too far. In the last match in Weert, the handicap was close to the 20 points, today I find it in -10.5, and I think it's a good chance for the defeat match.
With Den Bosch tonight at -10.5 points.
