Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The Hamburg Towers have also won their fourth game in the basketball league and have already booked more victories than in the entire previous season.
However, the team of coach Pedro Calles had to tremble for a long time about two points in the 85:80 (62:59, 45:27, 22:12) success on Sunday evening at the Mitteldeutscher Basketball-Club in Weißenfels.
The best thrower was TJ Shorts (17).
After a cautious start, the Towers moved away in the middle of the first quarter thanks to a 10-0 series to 14: 5.
The Hanseatic League defended the clear lead until the quarter break, although the otherwise so accurate Kameron Taylor had only made three unsuccessful attempts.
In the second quarter, Taylor was finally successful in this game for the first time with two free throws and made it 28:16.
As a result, the guests gradually expanded their lead and finally went into the half-time break with a 45:27 lead, especially since the defense had the MBC top players Michal Michalak and Quinton Hooker largely under control.
The MBC duo only got nine points in the first 20 minutes.

With the beginning of the third round, the previous dominance of the towers was no longer visible.
Within less than three minutes, the Calles team had to accept 13 points in a row and then shortly before the end of the quarter even the interim equalization (55:55).
In the hard-fought final phase, however, the Towers kept their nerve.
TJ Shorts made the decision with three points.
