It’s just not going to work at the Fraport Skyliners this season. In the basketball Bundesliga, the Frankfurters are bottom of the table with just one win from seven games – and on Saturday the Hessians were eliminated in the league cup with a 65-86 defeat at the Braunschweiger Löwen.
As on the 1st matchday in the league (76:89), there was a clear defeat against the Braunschweiger in the quarter-finals. After a false start, the Skyliners ran after a deficit for the rest of the game that could not be made up in the end. The game was decided by the last quarter at the latest.
Skyliners trainer Ocampo: “Didn’t play at the necessary level”
Skyliners coach Diego Ocampo said: “We tried to hold back in the second and third quarters. But we didn’t play at the necessary level in the first and last quarters. We have to learn from it and get better in the coming week,” said the coach quoted in a communication from the association.
Skyliners player Schoormann: “In the end they stand in our way”
The Frankfurt player Len Schoormann added: “We weren’t good enough defensively today and allowed too many runs. We haven’t communicated enough, so we end up getting in our own way. We’re the youngest team in the league, so we have to be the hungriest. But we just weren’t that today. “
