Congrats on the big 93-70 win over Wulfen. This was a much needed win. Did you guys get back to playing BG Hagen basketball?

Definitely got back to playing the basketball that got us to an undefeated start. Now we have to take this momentum and turn it up a notch

Did you eat anything extra special at Thanksgiving that helped get this win and your triple double?

Sadly our Thanksgiving dinner got postponed due to a Pokal game so I’d say I was just determined to get us the win this week.

Talk about the 40 minutes. Was this one of those games where the team was solid for the whole 40 minutes?

I would say we were all in all locked in the whole game. We got a much needed good start to the game that got us a pretty good lead and our defense was very good most of the game. Wulfen had a couple runs which is normal in basketball but we stayed composed and were able to win deservingly.

BG Hagen allowed only 70 points. What things did the club do better on the defensive end that simply brought more stability? The team forced 22 turnovers.

We moved as one on defense finally and this is the outcome you get from that. 70 points is an exceptional job for us defensively and we were all over the place forcing steals and turning that into easy points.

The team allowed only 6 turnovers. How proud are you of how the team took care oft he ball?

Very proud especially because we shared the ball as well. Everyone was comfortable and played loose.

You had an incredible 32/13/10 game. Was this a top 3 game in your pro career?

Not quite top 3 but it’s one of those games where I feel I played a complete game and was able to do a bit of everything.

The team next plays 4-8 Leverkusen 2. This is the perfect type of game to continue the winning streak. What will be key in getting the win?

We are fortunate to play this game also at home which will be big for us but the key is to build off of last games great performance and look back from the first game when we played Leverkusen and see where we can improve and make it easier the next time around. This game is also an important must win for us but we’ll be ready to go for sure.

Thanks Shawn fort he chat.
