Hamburg (dpa / lno) - Even after the 76:64 (42:25) victory at Brose Bamberg on Easter Sunday, restraint trumps the Bundesliga basketball players of the Hamburg Towers.
Although the Hanseatic team achieved their sixth win in a row even without head coach Pedro Calles, who was suffering from a gastrointestinal virus, and the sixth in the table is currently the most successful team in the league, center player Maik Kotsar said: “We'll stay with us, always just focus on the next game.
We won't have any thoughts about whether we could lose against a team or whether it would be easier to win. "
Despite the clear success against the competitor for the playoff spots in the end, the Hanseatic League had a phase in which they allowed the opponent to catch up.
Shortly before the end of the third quarter, the Towers led 63:39, but as a result the lead melted to nine points.
«We made a few mistakes.
That made the game even more interesting in the end, ”admitted Kotsar, the best Towers thrower with 22 points.
There was also criticism from Calles representative Miguel Zapata.
The assistant coach said: “In the end, only victory counts.
I'm not really happy with how we won.
We didn't play with the same amount of effort in the second half. "
