Center player Lennart Boner took responsibility and kept his team in the game with important counters
A win after it didn’t look good at the start of the game. Because the guests started weak in the game. Bernau got off to a much better start and presented himself accurately (9: 3). The giants were too hesitant and left the enemy too much space. The LOK players took advantage of this and led to the end of the quarter (28:16).
The picture continued and the scoreboard in the Erich-Wünsch-Halle in Brandenburg quickly showed 37:20. A lack of yield from beyond the triple line contributed to the deficit of the Düsseldorf team. A change of tactics and the attempt to succeed over the big positions finally showed success. Center player Lennart Boner took on responsibility and kept his team in the game with important points (39:28). Boner proved to be the driving force in the offensive game of the giants, who were able to shorten the game to 47:41 at half-time.

Head coach Kevin Magdowski motivated his team with clear words during the break and the effect was not long in coming. A change and the significantly increased intensity on the field quickly became apparent in the intermediate result. Led by winger Mark Gebhardt, the Düsseldorf team gradually approached the opponent and stayed within reach (57:54). Interrupted by a moment of shock – Hasan Demirbas was twisted, had to be treated and was ultimately injured – the giants kept their concentration high (62:61).

Dennis Mavin scored 20 points for his team
At the start of the final quarter, the guests took the lead with a threesome from Gebhardt. Led by Boner (14 points and 16 rebounds), they now dominated under the baskets and left the opponents within the zone no more chance. The ART Giants had turned the game and brought the victory sovereign over time (75:84).
“We knew that the away game in Bernau would not be easy and fortunately we were able to clinch victory after a significant increase in performance in the second half. Our tactical change after half-time and the much better intensity on the floor made the difference in the end. There are now important weeks ahead of us, so it was all the more important that we get the points away in Bernau, ”summarized head coach Kevin Magdowski after the game.
