Cuxhaven Bascats experience bitter debacle in Hamburg - 72:78 Defeat!

In an exciting duel in the 2nd basketball regional league, the Cuxhaven Bascats had to take a bitter defeat against BG Hamburg-West on Saturday, which won the game with 78:72. As CNV Medien reported, the BASCATs started chaotic and quickly fell behind. After the first quarter, the team was already 12 points behind, which coach Dennis Tiedemann described as alarming. Although they fought their way back at half -time after an energetic speech and even took the lead in the meantime, they could not hold the swing to the end. After a strong third quarter and the opportunity to turn the game, a few individual mistakes and negligent decisions were enough to seal the gifted victory against the direct competitor. Tiedemann was frustrated about the failed first half, which was decisive for the defeat.

The tremor for BG Hamburg-West

The team of BG Hamburg-West, which also had to compete without its top scorer Jens Winterberg, could be happy about the victory, which was of great importance for the team in the table. According to information from BG Hamburg-West , the defense was crucial to stop the attacking players of the Cuxhaven Bascats. In the final phase of the game, however, the leadership of the Hamburgers was in danger. It was only in the last few minutes when the Cuxhaven breathing space and concentration were lost, could Hamburg manage their narrow lead over the free -out line and thus bring the victory over time.

With this defeat, the bascats are now under pressure: In the next game against BG Halstenbek/Pinneberg on January 11th, they have to prove themselves to keep the connection to the upper table positions.
