Monster alley-oop from Hamburg! Magic Moment
Hamburg’s new addition Stove had an immediate impact with two baskets for a 4-11 lead. Stove added a three-point play and Kenneth Ogbe drained a triple as the guests were up 8-17. Hamburg turned an unsportsmanlike foul on Maxime Courby into five points with a triple from Lottie to lead 8-22. Jordan Barnett and Lottie added three-pointers to give Hamburg the lead 20-31 after 10 minutes.
Bourg started the second quarter with the first five points to make it a six-point game. With his team ahead 27-35 with 7:40 minutes left in the first half, Hamburg coach Benka Barloschky was ejected as he received two technical fouls. Hamburg kept Bourg at bay and even pulled ahead 32-45. Pansa scored five points and Brandon Paul and Xavier Castaneda hit triples to bring Bourg within 45-50. Stove and Barnett both added three-pointers, and Hamburg was up 47-58 at halftime.
After giving up 58 points in the first half, Bourg stepped up its defense in the second half, not allowing a score for the first 3 minutes in cutting the gap to 53-58. A Kuath three-point play had Hamburg up 58-66. But Bourg continued its charge on defense, holding Hamburg scoreless for almost 5 minutes and putting together a 13-0 run with three baskets from Benitez to lead 71-66. And the score was 73-67 after three quarters.
A Castaneda triple and Benitez jumper gave the hosts their first double-digit lead at 80-70. Hamburg managed to get back within 80-74, but Benitez drained a three-pointer and Usher had a layup and Bourg was up 85-74. An Usher triple made it 88-76 and did not let Hamburg get closer than nine points the rest of the way.
