Crailsheim (AP) - The Niners Chemnitz have to wait for their first victory in the basketball Bundesliga.
The newcomer lost the catch-up game at the Hakro Merlins Crailsheim on Wednesday with 76:88 (32:39).
It was the fifth loss in the fifth game of the season for coach Rodrigo Pastore's team.
The best Niners thrower was Joe Lawson with 18 points.
«It was still the step in the right direction.
We showed energy, that was lacking in the last few games, ”said winger Luis Figge after the game at“ MagentaSport ”.
After several ball losses and a few missed throws, the Chemnitz team were 3:13 behind after five minutes.
Pastore took a break and replaced Lawson and Figge.
Both players ensured more stability in the game of the Niners, who were able to open the game again after their own 11-0 run.
Towards the end of the first round, Crailsheim pulled away again and went into the dressing room with a seven point lead.

After changing sides, Chemnitz's deficit grew to 13 points with the intermediate result of 42:55 (26th).
The Niners did not give up yet, but weaknesses in the rebounds, a poor free throw rate and a total of 18 ball losses prevented a successful chase.
