Jaleen Smith (17 points) got off to a late start, as has often been the case recently, but Yorman Polas Bartolo (22) made a strong game both defensively and offensively, and the post-signing Jamel McLean (15) also played a major role in his routine Success. “It paid off for him that we spared him on Tuesday in Würzburg,” said giant coach John Patrick about the additional commitment that had not been played for a year before. “Bayreuth was fresher because they had no play during the week,” says Patrick about the strain on his team.

Very fresh was Oscar da Silva, the 22-year-old newcomer from college, who conceded two fouls in the first minute of his debut, but then slowly bit his way into the game. “That was very good to start with,” said Patrick, who can use any player in view of the play-offs. Especially since “I have to think about when I should give Tremmell Darden and Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann a break”. In any case, the next opportunity would be on Thursday (8.30 p.m.) when the Central German BC is a guest.
