He spoke to germanhoops after the game 2 loss in Wolmirstedt.

The Dragons Rhondorf suffered a tough 90-73 loss in game 2 in Wolmirstedt. How big was the desire to win this game and close out the series. What is your summary for the 40 minutes?

It was huge. We always want to win each game. The first half was even. In the second half our energy was ok, but theirs was better. They did a good job capitalizing on it and getting the win.

The first quarter had ups and downs, but Ferenc Gille carried the team late for the 20-14 lead. Could the game already gone in a totally different direction had Gille not been that present early?

It could of. He had a great game. His energy and impact was huge for us. We needed him. If we could of matched his intensity the game definitely could of gone a different way.

At half-time the game was deadlocked at 41-41. Bill Borekambi had had a good game in game 1 and as usual showed his walking buckets qualities. What makes him so difficult to contain?

He is a good player. He is really unorthodox and his team tries to find him. He plays hard and always tries to take advantage of every opportunity. We have to do a better job of matching his intensity in order to contain him better

The SBB Baskets Wolmirstedt led 69-59 after 30 minutes. The Dragons were close for the most part, but let up in the last minutes. What was key in the last minutes for Wolmirstedt to be able to lead by double digits?

It was a series of things. I turned over the ball. It was the little things. We couldn´t get stops and they built momentum. Little by little they were able to build the lead up.

In the fourth quarter the Dragons Rhondorf had to play catch up basketball and couldn´t get over the hump. How would you describe the defensive effort of the team in this phase?

It was too little too late. We tried to make a last push. We have to do a better job on 1-1 defense and help defense. We didn´t defend at the level that we normally do.

Gille and Sullivan combined for 39/22. Still the Dragons were pounded on the boards. Did the team feel too confident with the duo on the boards that the rest forgot to help out?

They are elite players at this level. We have to do a better job boxing out and helping out. We know that they are elite, but we can´t rely on them to do all the work on the boards. They got 22 rebounds, but that won´t be enough to win.

The Dragon Rhondorf also didn´t shoot great. What adjustments did Wolmirstedt make on the defensive end?

No not necessarily. I felt we had good looks just like in game 1, but they didn´t fall. We have to make those shots. Coach always tells us to shoot with confidence. We aren´t worried about our shooting and will be ready in game 3.

The free throws and rebounding hurt Rhondorf. What will be key in game 3 to getting to the next round?

Playing with more effort and energy will be foremost. We have to play our game speeding it up and playing good defense and rebounding the ball the way we can. When we do that then our offense will follow. We will be ready to play.

I know the focus is on game 3, but surprising was Berlin 2000´s sweep of Leverkusen?

It was surprising that Leverkusen was swept. In this league anyone can win. You have to give Berlin a lot of credit. They haven´t lost a game yet and are a great team.

Thanks Kelvin for the chat.
