Frankfurt Skyliners: Surprising victory despite the thrill against Oldenburg!

Ballsporthalle, Frankfurt, Deutschland - The Frankfurt Skyliners impressively show that they can make a name for themselves again in the basketball cup! After 24 years without a trophy, they prevailed on Saturday in the round of 16 against the EWE Baskets Oldenburg and won with 85:79. It looked like a clear victory for a long time, because the Skyliners in the meantime led with 31 points!

Trey Calvin with 27 points and Malik Parsons were particularly outstanding with 24 points, which dominated the game outstandingly and kept outwitted the Oldenburg defensive. While the Skyliners scored powerful 24 points in the second quarter in the first half, the EWE Baskets fought with a catastrophic throw rate of only 14 percent from the triple line. Although Oldenburg managed to build up pressure again in the last quarter and score 37 points, but the Skyliners could not be taken away. Despite the slump in the final phase, trainer Denis Wucherer was optimistic and emphasized his team's positive reactions after the last defeat.
