Top derby in Göppingen: Kirchheim Knights meet Tübingen Tigers!

A captivating derby in the second basketball Bundesliga took place on Saturday in the EWS-Arena in Göppingen when the Kirchheim Knights met the Tigers Tübingen. The 1,978 spectators experienced a historical evening: the Tigers clearly dominated the game and celebrated an impressive 101: 57 victory, which ended with a 44-point lead. The team of coach Danny Jansson showed an outstanding performance and did not give the guests from Kirchheim a chance of a chance, which was all the more impressive after the bumpy start of the encounter, as the Tigers Tübingen reported.

The performance of Daniel Keppeler was particularly outstanding, who became a top scorer with 20 points and a flawless litter quota. Keppeler not only showed offensive, but also defensive commitment and thus largely contributed to the success of his team. The game was not only the highest victory in the Paul Horn-Arena since its opening in 2004, but also a return to the shape for the Tigers. In the first half, they already lead significantly with 54:31. The Kirchheim coach Igor Perovic celebrated a disappointing evening in the Tübinger hall on his 49th birthday, since his team was inferior in all matters, like SWP reported.

The Tigers showed their superiority in the attack and defense over the entire season. The biggest deficit for the Kirheimer was a frightening value of 50 points, which underlines the dominance of the game. This victory could be of great importance for the remaining course of the season of the Tigers, as they have to perform in the coming game against the Art Giants Düsseldorf in the home game on Sunday. The team is required to capture the intensity and passion shown in order to be successful here too.
