Talata 89, Hørsholm 87. Won again, after overtime.

On 11 September DBBF upheld Hørsholm’s protest and annulled our 78 to 67 cup win from 7 September. So we played the 1/16 final again on Monday night at Rungsted Skole.

We won it again. 89 to 87 after overtime.

How it went

We were down 16 to 24 after the first quarter, took the second 21 to 12 and led 37 to 36 at half. Hørsholm were back in front 58 to 56 after three. We won the fourth 24 to 22, and Jordan scored the last basket of regulation to make it 80 to 80.

Jordan opened overtime with a two for 82 to 80. Hørsholm made two free throws and a two for 82 to 84. Jordan tied it again at 84. Then Hørsholm hit a three for 84 to 87.

Deng hit a three to tie it at 87. Then he made both free throws for 89 to 87.
