Nuremberg Falcons win in Göttingen – aftermath with traffic accident!
In an exciting duel in the BARMER 2nd Basketball Bundesliga, BG Göttingen suffered a bitter 78:91 defeat against the Nuremberg Falcons in their own hall today. The Nuremberg team showed their strongest side and secured their seventh win this season. At halftime, the team from Nuremberg was already in the lead with 51:42 and expanded this lead further in the third quarter.
As the HNA reported, Nuremberg's top scorer Vincent Friederici was able to shine with an impressive 22 points. While the guests remained focused at the end of the game and contained the Göttingen offensive, the BG had to struggle with highly inefficient shooting rates, especially in the second half - their three-point rate was a meager 30 percent and the ball losses quickly added up.
Göttingen problems on the offensive
Coach Fabian Strauss was dissatisfied with his team's performance and spoke of “hair-raising failures”. Important players such as Kevin Buckingham and the injured Janis Jünemann were missing, which severely limited Göttingen's options. Especially in the final phase, the team around Jordan Sears, who was Göttingen's best scorer with 17 points, tried to turn things around again. However, the comeback was prevented by Nuremberg's stable defense.
The game was the third home defeat for BG Göttingen this season. So far they are unbeaten away from home, which shows that the pressure at home is clearly noticeable. Subsequent analysis of the game will certainly point to the team's worrying 19 turnovers, which were crucial to the outcome of the encounter. If you look at the statistics, it is evident how efficient players like Julius Wolf, whose family cheered him on during the game, are.
A misfortune after the game
Bad luck continued to haunt Nuremberg after the final whistle. On the way back to Nuremberg there was a rear-end collision when a Göttingen Golf drove into the left side of the team bus. Fortunately, there was no damage to the sheet metal - a circumstance that did not dampen the good mood about the victory Nuremberg Falcons report.
There is now no time for the BG Göttingen to take a breather. In the next game they will face the Gießen 46ers and have to correct the mistakes they made as quickly as possible in order to find their away strength at home. The pressure is growing, and with the next opponent in sight, it remains to be seen whether the Göttingen team can turn the corner.
