Lorne thanks for talking to German Hoops. A tough 99-93 loss last weekend against Weissenhorn. The Scanplus Baskets gave up 13 points in the first quarter, but 86 points in the last three quarters. Why did the defense breakdown in the last 30 minutes?
We played a good game but we had a defensive let down in the second half giving away too many easy shots and too many offensive rebounds. To put it simply they just outworked us in the second half
How much does it annoy you that The Scanplus Baskets shot 55% combined from the field and outside, but you still lose the ball game?
Its tough that we shot well but still lost the game. We just didn’t make some of the plays that we needed to make in order to win the game.
