BG Göttingen shines in Giessen: 83:61 victory despite personnel concerns!
On Tuesday evening, December 23rd, 2025, an exciting duel took place in the BARMER 2nd Basketball Bundesliga ProA when BG Göttingen was a guest at the GIESSEN 46ers. In front of 2,404 spectators in the Gießen-Ost sports hall, the fans experienced a thrilling game that ended with a clear 83:61 victory for BG Göttingen. Despite the absence of four key players, Göttingen were able to put in an impressive performance.
The guests from Göttingen, currently in second place in the league and formerly relegated from the BBL, started the game strongly. After a short 0:5 deficit, they responded with a brilliant 15:0 run. At halftime they were already leading 51:36. Particularly outstanding were Jordan Sears and Hendrik Drescher, who both achieved a double-double: Sears with 18 points and 10 rebounds and Drescher with 14 points and 13 rebounds. The team statistics also showed that BG Göttingen had a wide scoring option - a total of nine players scored in double figures. This is particularly notable as they had to compete without key players such as Janis Jünemann, Robin Lodders, Kevin Buckingham and Zach Jackson, all of whom are injured.
Game progression and crucial phases
As the game progressed, Göttingen remained dominant. In the third quarter the 46ers were able to reduce the deficit to 61:55, but in the final quarter the game turned again in the visitors' favor. With an impressive 22:6 in the last quarter, they clearly won the game. The quarter results illustrate Göttingen's superiority: 21:24, 15:27, 19:10, 6:22.
On the GIESSEN 46ers side, Kyle Castlin was the best scorer with 17 points. Despite a solid performance, especially in the first two quarters, the Giesseners were unable to maintain the pressure on their opponents. The team is currently in 7th place in the league with 7 wins and 6 losses. Before the game, coach Ignjatovic had already spoken about the challenges of the tight schedule and pointed out the difficulties in rotation, especially in the German positions.
Conclusion for the BG Göttingen
The BG Göttingen shows that, despite the personnel problems, they have a good hand and remain unbeaten away from home. This performance should give them additional momentum for the coming games, while the 46ers need to continue to work on their form. However, the home strength in the East Hall can give them hope for future success, even if they couldn't quite keep up in this game.
