Stefan Koch (head coach Artland Dragons): "It was super difficult to play for us without David Holston and Darren Fenn and then also lose Bryan Bailey. That's why you have to move the game into perspective. We have played quite reasonable, with the exception of the second quarter, where we had major problems. In the second half we showed character, had at the beginning a small run and were also in the last quarter again up close. In my last time out just before the end, I have the guys but then said that we should not waste our energy for the minimal chance that we still had to win the game. At full strength we would have a good chance of winning had here, but in this situation, we have to live with what happened. Of course I'm not satisfied, but also can not blame the guys. "
