Metropolitans head coach Vincent Collet knew that, even though his team's opponent came to Paris with some absences, the key for the win had to do a lot with containing Hamburg Towers' top scorer, Caleb Homesley. Despite the French team's victory in Hamburg back in Round 5, Homesely had hurt Metropolitans by scoring a season-high 29 points on 5-for-11 three-point shooting in just 26 minutes on court.
This time, Collet's game plan worked fine, as Homesley encountered problems getting any scoring rhythm. He finished the first half with just 4 points and had 7 at the end of the game. It was the first time he failed to reach double-figures in points this season. His single three-pointer made was also his low for the season, and that one didn't fall until just a few seconds before the final whistle.

Kuath throws down the alley-oop! Magic Moment
That defensive effort on Homesley, who shot 3-of-13 from the field, was one of the main assets that the home team used to limit Hamburg to its second-lowest scoring total this season.
"We played better defense, especially on Homesley," Collet commented after the win. "We stopped their rhythm. Of course, he could have made more shots, but we didn't give him the left often and, offensively, we shared the ball very well in the first half."
