Trier celebrates convincing victory against Baunach

In the same week there was a bitter defeat for the Baunach Young Pikes at the Roman electricity Gladiators Trier, who clearly won the game with 85:60. The Luxembourg Thomas Grün in particular contributed significant points early after getting the ball right from the start and sank safely in the basket. Baunach had significant problems to overcome the aggressive defensive of the gladiators, which was reflected in 14 ball losses in the first half. An injury to the Baunach playmaker William McDowell-White also contributed to the weakening of the team, while talents such as Louis Olinde, who scored 20 points, could do little.

The Gladiators, spurred on by the 1812 spectators in the Arena Trier, demonstrated a strong performance both on the offensive and on the defensive and can look proud of the third victory in a row. Head coach Marco van den Berg was satisfied after the game: "We played a good game and called everything off against a talented team." With this victory, the Gladiators consolidate their place in the upper table region and are optimistic about the upcoming games, while Baunach urgently has to look for ways in view of the latest defeats.
