Hi Josh thanks for talking to German Hoops again. Congrats on the 88-82 win against the EWE Baskets Oldenburg on the road. This was your first two game winning streak as a Beko BBL player. How good does it feel seeing many happy faces after wins the last two weeks?
It really feels great to be able to put a couple of wins together and see the way the team has continued to fight and stay together it’s a great feeling but we know we have more work to do!
This was a real battle at the end, but MBC had the better nerves. What was key for getting the win against Oldenburg in crunch time?
Oldenburg is a great team and well coached. We just played hard and competed! It was a great game just glad we stayed together in the end.
