After the 11:11 (4th) in the first quarter, the hosts were able to pull away over 18:11 (6th) to 30:19 (10th). The team from Weißenfels extended this lead to 62:44 (23 rd ) shortly after the break. Nevertheless, it got exciting again because the home side allowed the opponent too many second chances. Under the boards, the Würzburg team (34:19 rebounds) had clear advantages and came threateningly close again at 69:64 (29th). But the Central Germans showed strong nerves and laid the foundation for success with their high hit rate from beyond the three-point line. 14 of 25 throws landed in the Würzburg basket.
