Congrats Shawn on another win this time 72-65 against the Lowen. You last lost 2.5 months ago. How crazy is that?

Thank you. I didn’t realize it’s been that long but it’s crazy that we are on a 9 game win streak and playing very good at the perfect time.

How did it feel winning a close game again? The last 3 games had been blow out wins.

It just felt good winning period. We always go into the game wanting to blow teams out but it’s especially nice that we were able to beat the two teams that beat us in the first half of the season. These were very important wins for us.

Talk a little about the 40 minutes. Was BG Hagen ever in danger of losing the game?

I think no. We had our defensive plan that worked pretty much the whole game and we knew it was going to be defense that won this game. They went on a run towards the end but we kept our composure and finished the game.

The stats were pretty even as there were only 12 combined turnovers. Did the shooting percentages decide the game or more the little things?

I think defense essentially won the game but big shots from our guys and big stops on defense was the decider.

What was it like battling Jamal Wright? You combined for 48 points. What was most annoying about his game?

Jamal was a very good player to play against and really challenged me on defense and stole the ball from me a couple times which was most annoying for me. But it was fun going at each other and we’re fortunate to have come out on top.

You had another top game of 24/12. It wasn´t a explosive game for you, but still a top performance. What did you take from your game that was most positive?

I think a positive was I continued to be aggressive even when I felt I didn’t get the foul calls I usually would get but I kept putting pressure on their bigs inside and was able to make plays.

You continue to do a great job limiting turnovers. How much has the extra work paid off for you?

I’m just trying to really fix it now before playoffs so I won’t have these high turnover games when it matters most.

You now have a 3 week break, Good or not so good for the long 9 game winning streak?

Not good for sure. I think the last thing we need is a long break but luckily we have our Pokal game against top team Essen. This will be a big test for us and we want to continue on our right path.

Thanks Shawn for the chat.
