It certainly wasn’t a good performance from our team and it hurts to concede 100 points at home. We played against an opponent who scored very well. These throws, especially in the fast break, do not always fall. When they fall it will be difficult. The team is dissatisfied, especially after a game against Göttingen.
Compliments to Hamburg, a good team who had a great day today. We saw the future of German basketball today, the way Justus Hollatz led the team, so young, so mature, 12 points and 11 assists, not even Maodo Lo did that well against us. I think that was the key matchup of today’s game.
For us, every game is almost a qualifier. We have the opportunity to hold the class with our own strength, that’s a great situation. We showed on Wednesday that we can annoy playoff teams, but today it was very different. We have the opportunity to win important games and we should take advantage of that. But our top performers should also deliver, today we had two or three failures in the important positions, which of course we can only compensate for with difficulty. Our ProA players in particular played in the last quarter and I thought they did well, I’m especially happy for Albert that he was able to show that he can play!

Congratulations to my players for this great success. Heidelberg is a dangerous opponent. They have good import players who are particularly strong at 1-1. We started with the right focus and the right mentality. We were able to gain more possession from our defense and were able to get easy points. We showed good commitment and were able to bring the momentum to our side.
