The Hamburger started weak in their sixth league game and were quickly 0: 6 behind. Until shortly before the half-time break, however, an open game should develop, with the Towers after a 29:31 deficit for almost five minutes no more, but scored seven points themselves.

In the second round, however, the hosts could not break away any further and in the meantime even had to accept the compensation. Only in the middle of the final quarter did the lead increase to eleven points. Nevertheless, it should be exciting again in the end. Ultimately, Maik Kotsar was able to provide the decisive points.
