They left everything on the floor. The Towers were up to the last second in the derby against Oldenburg – but in the end it wasn’t enough again: 95:96 (47:53). The horror series goes on and on. Hamburg’s basketball players also lost their sixth Bundesliga game in a row.

Because head coach Raoul Korner (48) was in bed with the flu, “Co” Benka Barloschky (34) replaced him. But even he couldn’t turn things around against former Towers coach Pedro Calles (39).
“The most important thing for us is that we don’t learn to lose and accept losing,” Barloschky clarified. “This is a league that’s about results.”
The Towers played the best they can at the moment. Kendale McCullum (26) conjured up 25 points, Lukas Meisner (27) carried everyone away with his emotions. The 3400 fans in the Inselpark (sold out for the fourth time in a row) created an amazing atmosphere.
In the end, the 17 ball losses made the difference. Whenever it was Hamburg’s turn, they gave the opponent the ball in an incredibly physical game.
Barloschky: “We had moments where we lost our heads.”
On Friday we continue against the surprise team Würzburg (8.30 p.m., Magenta Sport). Barloschky: “This is the most important game of the season.”
