Congrats on the big 89-82 win over Bonn 2 as the winning streak continues. How tough was the 3 week break from league play? I guess the rest did the team well?

Thank you. It was an ugly game for us but a win is a win. The 3 week break I think was really hard for us even though we still had a lot of practice in the meantime. But not playing actual games I think took a slight toll on us but we’re back to normal now.

Talk about the 40 minutes. Was BG Hagen ever in danger and what was key to getting the win?

Honestly we were down the entire game until the 4th quarter. We were not locked in even a little bit at the start and we had to dig ourselves out of a big hole but we never gave up as usual and handled business.

Bonn 2 shot 13 three´s, but how vital were the 12 team offensive rebounds for BG Hagen?

We knew they were going to shoot a high volume of threes and were prepared for it. They were very big for us because we wanted to be aggressive and crash the boards as well as attacking the basket.

BG Hagen allowed 82 points. How pleased were you with the team defense? What tweaks does the team need to make this week?

I think we didn’t play good defense at all until the end of the game which got us the lead back but like I said we just weren’t locked in that day. Before this game we were playing very good defense and holding teams to low points so I think we know what to do but it was just a rough game this time around.

You had a solid 31/11/6/4/2 game. Were you pleased with your energy after the long break?

Not really. The stats may seem like I was in it but it took me the second half to really get going on offense and defense and I would’ve liked to start the game much better. One thing I knew for sure was I wasn’t going to let us lose this game.

On what area of your game are you working on most now as the playoffs get closer and closer?

My 3pt shot 100% and turnovers. These are the most critical things I’m paying attention to before the playoffs and I know I’ll be ready when the time comes.

You next meet the 12-7 Salzkotten team. You gave up 105 points in the loss. What will be key to getting the win?

Definitely we have to keep Keith under control and just be way more focused defensively than the last meeting. Again being at home changes everything and we want to keep the streak going.

Justin Andrew scored a crazy 55 points. You will meet him soon. Maybe you´ll hit 50 points soon. Does a game like that give you extra motivation?

Crazy game from him I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. As long as we win I could care less what I score. It gives me all the motivation because they’re the top team and we want to prove we belong as well.

Thanks Shawn for the chat.
