Jeff Garrett played the biggest role in the guests’ success with 19 points. Tommy Kuhse scored the most points for Vechta with 18 points. Chemnitz celebrated a start-to-finish victory and thus avoided a decisive fifth game.
The guests were ahead 7-0 after three minutes and had extended their lead to 40-22 by the 18th minute. Although the Lower Saxons were able to reduce the lead to 40-48 (26th) shortly after the break, the Niners were able to hold on to their victory thanks to their strong defense.
