Too bad it was not quite enough. After a inensiven, fast game, the league basketballer inside of the Herner TC had to congratulate her Nördlinger hosts to a tight, but not undeserved 74:71 victory.

A couple of inches were missing the HTC Ladies for renewal. As Katarina Flasarovas distance throw four seconds before the end fell on the ring and from there in Linda-Lotta Lehtorantas jumped hands, hung their heads Hernes Bundesliga basketball players. Almost 40 minutes they were running behind a residue in Nördlingen, had never let you shake off, were a couple of times on the verge to bend the game, and now but everything was in vain. The Friendsfactory Baskets had their lead in an intense, rapid and dramatic game yet so just saved to the finish and also decided the second encounter with Herne just for themselves.
Knapp, but well deserved, as well as Marek Piotrowski admitted. “We had it in our hands. But Nördlingen has almost out all the time and therefore deserved to win, “HTC coach admitted openly. When the very strong beginning Emina Karic still scored in the first minute to 2:4, no one could have guessed that this would be the last Herner leadership. In the next few minutes, it went up and down, but while the HTC hardly a ball slipped through the ring, the hosts met almost everything. Henderson’s three for 19:8 (8) screwed the leadership of the Baskets for the first time in the double digits. But Karic with a three and a free throw and Teya Wright with their only point brought Herne to the siren still on 13:19 zoom.
In the second quarter of the game seemed to tilt, for now ran two Herner inner hot, the Nördlingen apparently not had on the bill: Henna Salomaa and Magda Gawronska. They introduced the HTC from 15:25 (12th) approach to 29:29 (15). But the lock was not long in coming. Nördlingen scored against the sometimes somewhat erratic Herner coverage remains high percentage, while the HTC on offense often fell into hectic and quite a few turnovers and missed shots made. So it went with a ten-point deficit in the cabin.
There Piotrowski called for more aggressive in the second half. With success. Guests defended better now came on five points behind (47:42) prior to Nördlingen deposed again by three of Lehtoranta and Georgieva. But above all, Salomaa was not irrepressible. The Finn made alone in this neighborhood 14 points and held Herne within striking distance.
In the final section of the HTC nibbled from the residue, piece by piece, was at 64:63 (34th) ran to a point, then had to re-accept a 0:6 series. At the last minute it was Lisa Koop, the best next Salomaa Hernerin who twice sat down at the board and 72:71 the voltage drive with four points on the top. Immediately followed the foul 13 seconds were on the clock – but Tarasava showed in their home debut in Nördlinger team no nerves. Ice cold sank the Belarusian both litters to 74:71. Herne needed the three, played Flasarova free, but the Czech was missing this time the litter luck. Too bad.
