The Rostock team managed to get off to an impressive start in the encounter. After three successful throws from three, the guests led 9:2 after a short time. As the first quarter progressed, the Seawolves’ lead grew to as much as 15 points. After a 7-0 run by the hosts at the beginning of the second period, however, the game threatened to tip over.

Even after the change of sides, the guests were initially the better team and extended their lead to 13 points. After that, however, the Held team started having more and more problems and had to concede the equalizer to 67:67 shortly before the end of the third quarter.
