The mourning game goes on. In the EuroCup, the Towers conceded a 76:83 (37:48) against Gran Canaria in their last appearance before Christmas. Hamburg’s basketball players have only won one of their last eleven games.
Oh you terrible!

“We discovered this greed too late to force them out of their comfort zone,” said coach Raoul Korner. But found: “It was a step in the right direction. Slowly but surely we are all getting fit again.”
The towers got off to a good start. But after just six minutes, the old problems showed up: stupid ball losses, far too many miserably missed throws…
The well-balanced top team from Spain (ACB seventh) was simply better in front of 2285 fans, leading by up to 21 points (44:65/27th).
After all: The Towers didn’t give up, even fought their way back to throwing distance with a lot of effort. Korner: “It was too late for us to lose our shyness about getting killed. Maybe we underestimate ourselves when we’re playing against fast guards.”
Crazy: With the final siren, EM hero Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann (32) even hit the first three of his professional career! With 15 points, WoBo was the Hamburg top scorer together with Kendale McCullum. So the sixth international bankruptcy wasn’t a disgrace – but the bottom line is that the horror series continues.
It is possible that the Towers will now add personnel again. According to information from the Greek platform “Totalbasket” they want to separate from the disappointing Marvin Clark. He only played seven minutes against Gran Canaria and scored a measly two points.
In the Bundesliga we continue against Oldenburg on Tuesday (7 p.m., Magenta Sport).
