Lions are subject to Jena: 72: 104 defeat shocked fans!

A shock for the PS Karlsruhe Lions! On Saturday evening, November 16, 2024, the Badeners experienced a bitter defeat in Barmer 2nd Basketball Bundesliga ProA. Against the undisputed league leader Science City Jena, they lost with a clear 72:104. From the beginning, the Lions had no access to the game and could not stop the superiority of the Jena.

The team was severely weakened because several key players were injured due to injury. Despite committed performance, the Lions often remained unhappy and could not build on their best performances. Lachlan Dent was the bright spot in the Karlsruhe game and scored 18 points. Maurice Pluskota and Joel Mätynen also contributed 17 and 15 points to the total number of points, but that was not enough to seriously endanger the opponent.

Future view for the Lions

After this bitter defeat, Coach Scepanovic faces the challenge of getting his team back on track. The coming week is free of play, which offers a chance to regain the self -confidence of the players. On November 30, 2024, the Lions will be against VfL Sparkassen Stars Bochum. The next home game will only take place on December 14, 2024 against Kirchheim, and the fans hope for a turn in the team.
