Göttingen (AP) - The Niners Chemnitz suffered their 16th defeat of the season in the Bundesliga after a weak attack.
The team of coach Rodrigo Pastore lost their catch-up game at the BG Göttingen on Tuesday with 55:68 (27:34).
The best Niners thrower was Marcus Thornton with 15 points.
“We didn't play well, so we didn't deserve to win today.
Göttingen's defense was of course good, but we also threw badly, ”said national player Jan Niklas Wimberg after the game at“ Magentasport ”.
The Niners made several misses and ball losses in the first quarter, which led to a significant deficit at the beginning.
In the 6th minute, the Pastore team was 5:15 behind.
In the second part of the game the Saxons presented themselves slightly better.
Thornton in particular took the initiative in the attack and in the meantime led Chemnitz to three points (20: 23/16.).
But then Göttingen was able to pull away again and went into the break with a 34:27 lead.

The start of the third quarter did not go as hoped for the Niners.
In the attack, the newcomer made many simple mistakes, so that the gap grew to 13 points (32: 45/25.).
Chemnitz did not catch up, which was also due to the weak litter rate.
Only 22 of a total of 63 attempts from the field ended up in the opponent's basket by the end of the game.
