This is because BASIC authentication (read: username/password sent in clear text) is used to authenticate preemptively, not NTLM. Apparently the credentials are OK, since you are able to authenticate using BASIC. So, most likely the server has been configured to use NTLMv2 only, whereas HttpClient supports NTLMv1 only.
