Birthday Weekend....not so happy




This weekend was my 26th birthday and I was looking to get a win. This weekend I had a game against Itzahoe, which is 4hrs away and the leagues number one team and leading scorer. We made the trip without 2 starters, Max and Tobi, who were out with sickness and injuries. Then, :09 seconds into the game our starting center, 6'10 Jan Both, tore a ligament in his knee. So, now we're down 3 starters for one of the biggest games of the year. The game started with us hanging right there with Itzahoe. After the first quarter we were only down 15-17. During the second quarter, the game went back and forth with many lead changes. I was playing good but so was their American. Him and I were going back and forth and by half time we were down 35-38. I had 14pts at the half, but their American had 17pts. The third quarter, they made a couple runs pushing their lead to 10 points by the end of the third. I played very poorly during the third quarter, forcing shots and missing easy shots. Their American however, began to get hot and he score 17pts in the third quarter. During the fourth quarter, we made a couple good runs but in the end their American was too much. He finished the game with 43points and only one other player on their team scored in double figures. I finished the game with 21points, 5ast, 6rbs, 2stl and 5TO, while shooting 9-21 from the field and 2-4 from the FT line. We ended up losing the game 76-87. We are now 0-6. Our next game is away against BG Magdeburg.
