Tigers Tübingen beat Phoenix Hagen and consolidate table lead!

What an exciting basketball drama in the Paul Horn-Arena! The Tigers Tübingen impressively won with an 83:71 (41:37) in their duel against Phoenix Hagen and show up in top shape! In a masterful idea that the Tübingen dominated across all four quarters, they delighted the 2,400 spectators - except for the approximately 20 fans of Hagen, who did not really enjoy the game. Despite the weak performance of her best scorer Kenny Cooper, who scored only three points, the team of coach Domenik Reinboth repeatedly found solutions to conquer the "fire birds".

dominance of the Tigers

Jonas Niedermann was the hero of the evening, he scored 14 points and confidently led his team. He was supported by Miles Tenion and Melkizedek Moreaux, each contributing 13 points, as well as Till Jönke and Marvin Heckel, who also scored in double digits. The Tigers were on the fast lane right from the start and could not be stopped by Hagen. In the second half of the game they were constantly in the lead and were able to increase their gap to up to 14 points. Mechanisms such as a remarkable three rate of 44 percent and a rebound superiority of 38:32 made the difference. Even if they had to accept 18 ball losses, the victory was never endangered.

Hagen, under the direction of coach Chris Harris, could not prevent the Tigers from countering every attempt. Sincere Carry was the outstanding player on the part of the fire birds with 18 points, but that was not enough to break the superiority of the Tigers. Thanks to this strong team performance, the Tigers have established themselves in the top group of the league, with five wins from six games.

look into the future

The next highlight is already around: On November 2, 2024, the Tigers will go to the next top game against Science City Jena, who despite their first defeat will continue to be at the top of the table. The tension for fans is growing, while the Tübinger are preparing for further outstanding services!
