BG Göttingen celebrates a dominant 104:83 victory over Artland Dragons!

It was an exciting evening of basketball at the Artland Arena when the BG Göttingen on Saturday the Artland Dragons defeated with 104:83. The game was the third away game for Göttingen this season and was plagued by many fouls that repeatedly interrupted the flow of the game. After a tough first quarter in which BG Göttingen was behind 17:25, they rebelled and got back into the game.

The Dragons showed their strength in the first quarter and it seemed as if BG Göttingen, who returned to the ProA after being relegated from the BBL, could have a difficult game on their hands. What was noticeable was that Göttingen received nine fouls, while the Dragons had six. But in the second quarter, the BG players turned on the turbo and scored an impressive 32 points, which gave them a 49:43 halftime lead.

Return of the team and strong performances

BG Göttingen, which has stabilized significantly this season, has only lost one game and is currently in fourth place in the league with three wins and only one defeat. Apart from the new faces like Jordan Sears and Zach Jackson, only Mathis Mönninghoff and Jannis Jünemann from last season remain in the squad. Daniel Kirchner, with a remarkable average of 5.8 assists per game, was also the best provider today with a total of six assists.

Hendrik Drescher showed an outstanding performance and was his team's best scorer at halftime with 17 points. In the third quarter, however, Zach Jackson took command and scored an impressive 11 points within five minutes, which contributed to Göttingen's continued dominance.

The statistics speak for themselves

The BG Göttingen team values ​​are impressive. With a 54% hit rate on field goals (37/68), an outstanding free throw rate of 81% (17/21) and 45 rebounds (11 of which were offensive), the team can be proud of their performance. The 20 assists also testify to a harmonious team game that gives hope for the coming encounters.

With this win against the Dragons, who are now in fifth place in the table after a narrow win over Bayreuth the previous week, there is every reason to be excited. The next game for BG Göttingen will take place next Saturday against the Hakro Merlins from Crailsheim. The Göttingen team, under the leadership of head coach Fabian Strauss, want to continue their positive run and show their strong form.

For basketball fans, this is an opportunity to watch a team on the rise. How the BG Göttingen manages to establish itself so quickly remains exciting. Further developments this season promise a lot of action!
