0.7 seconds before the end made build-up Maurice Stuckey for the 71:68 (34:37) victory of the Baden-Württemberg Bbl-representative. In the domestic hall Merlin’s worked off really hard. Magere four points arrive in the first seven game minutes. Then the team of Hohenlohe was able to increase and even take the lead in the second quarter. But for a break, they still lay back with 34:37. In the second half it was a duel at eye level, where the leadership moved back and forth, but no team could really settle. A threesome of Terrell Harris and a Korbleger of Stuckey made for the decision. However, the lead is not a resting pad for the second leg next Wednesday in the Netherlands.
