The Towers can take a big step closer to their season goal in Bamberg. But in the end the hosts celebrate because Hamburg put in a weak performance in the third quarter.
The Veolia Towers Hamburg have suffered another setback in the fight for the playoff places in the Basketball Bundesliga. On Sunday, head coach Benka Barloschky’s team lost to rivals Bamberg Baskets 80:86 (43:45), but remains in tenth place in the table despite the 14th defeat in the 27th league game. After the 90:94 in the first leg, Bamberg (11th) won the direct comparison with their success. The best thrower for Hamburg was Aljami Durham (19 points).

The Towers found it difficult to successfully complete their offensive actions in the first few minutes. After almost half of the first quarter it was 5:9 from Hamburg’s point of view, but they then found their way into the game increasingly better. Although Bamberg briefly pulled away in the middle of the second period, the Towers were the more effective team in the final phase until the break, mainly thanks to Durham. The American scored 17 points in the first half alone.

“It was a very intense game,” said Durham. “We lost to a good team.” He hasn’t given up his belief in qualifying for the playoffs. “No, I believe in this team and I believe in the playoffs,” he said.
