Bitter déjà vu at the start of the season: Like last season, Telekom Baskets suffered a defeat at Rasta Vechta at the start of the season. The team of head coach Roel Moors had problems with a poor success rate. Playmaker Darius McGhee, who was generally rather unobtrusive, managed to reduce the score to 75:76 in the last minute, but Vechta responded and the Bonn team continued to be unlucky with their shots, so that in the end the home team took the lead. The biggest advantage was on the scoreboard: 83:75 (18:13, 14:21, 21:19, 30:22).
