Regular Season Round 26: Bayer Giants - Crailsheim 65-87

Date: March 9, 2014
No shocking result in a game in Leverkusen where second ranked Crailsheim Merlins (19-7) smashed 13th ranked Bayer Giants (7-19) 87-65. The game was mostly controlled by Crailsheim Merlins. Bayer Giants was better in second period 22-14. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Crailsheim Merlins dominated down low during the game scoring 56 of its points in the paint compared to Bayer Giants' 34. 24 personal fouls committed by Bayer Giants helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American power forward Stevie Johnson (198-78, college: Iowa St.) notched a double-double by scoring 17 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the effort and the other American import point guard Carlos Medlock (183-87, college: E.Michigan) supported him with 11 points and 4 assists. Five Crailsheim Merlins players scored in double figures. Crailsheim Merlins' coach Willie Young felt very confident that he used 11 players and allowed the starting five to rest. Even 18 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists by American John Eggleston (203-88, college: Pennsylvania) did not help to save the game for Bayer Giants. Goetz Twiehoff (198-85) added 12 points and 7 rebounds for the hosts. Crailsheim Merlins maintains second position with 19-7 record having four points less than leader Goettingen. Bayer Giants lost fifth consecutive game. Newly promoted team keep the thirteenth place with 19 games lost. Crailsheim Merlins' next round opponent will be Finke Baskets (#12) in Paderborn and are hoping to win another game. Bayer Giants will play at home against Oettinger Rockets Gotha and hope to win that game.
