Veolia Towers Hamburg lost to Syntainics MBC Weißenfels 94-99. Benka Barloschky hopes for basketball gods. The Veolia Towers Hamburg lost to Syntainics MBC Weißenfels after three consecutive wins. The team is on a rollercoaster ride this season, with a catastrophic start followed by a remarkable surge, including wins against top teams. However, they regularly experience inexplicable downturns, especially at the beginning of games or directly after halftime. In Weißenfels, a 0-10 start fueled this observation. Meanwhile, the fluctuations could be explained by the team's quality, which is not on the level of permanent outstanding performances after four new signings in the middle of the table. Barloschky encouraged his selection during the first timeouts, rather than criticizing them. We must remain calm and not lose our heads, said the 38-year-old accordingly at halftime. If his players do not try to land home runs, but rather continue to play our style, the basketball gods will reward us, so Barloschky. The gods were kind. Shortly after the halftime break, the Towers, who had to do without Martin Breunig this time, took the lead for the first time through two free throws from Zacharie Perrin (53:52/24.). Even more: Devon Daniels threw, as if the hand of God had intervened. In the following, the guests comfortably took the lead. The final quarter, however, went completely into the bin. The defense of the towers broke again, and they left valuable points on the free throw line. A last prayer from the three-point line to equalize by Daniels went a second before the end offside. Ultimately, after a poor start to the season, the team's survival in the league is a gift from God for the Towers. We have invested a lot and done it right. The second and third quarters were played very, very good basketball, but unfortunately, we were unable to bring the game home in the last quarter. The MBC had an unbelievable shooting percentage in the last quarter, said Barloschky. We deserved to win here, so the loss hurts particularly. A bit more efficiency from the free throw line would have been enough for us. If we continue to play like this, we can still win a few more games.
