Ratiopharm Ulm won his away game in the basketball Bundesliga in Oldenburg with 93 to 86. A work victory for Ulm – just two days after the away success in the Eurocup.
Two games, two victories for Ulm. Two games, two defeats for Oldenburg. The Bundesliga game was exciting until the end. In the end, Oldenburg got a possible home win.
Ulm wide awake right from the start
The initial phase of the game belongs to Malik Osborne. The Ulm “Bigman” scores eight points in the first five minutes. And with great variability – sometimes by three, sometimes by a basket. Overall, the Ulm team starts well into play. It cannot be seen that it will play the third game within five days. Ulm gets the first quarter with 26 to 20.
Ulm weakens in the second quarter
In the second quarter, Ulm begins with significantly less energy. The defense in particular is not as quick as in the first ten minutes. Oldenburg is causing simpler throws and is in the lead for the first time after a good three minutes (33:32). A break from Ty Harrelson initially does not improve the guests. The EWE Baskets are now playing with more confidence. This is also shown by the threesome that the home side inserts with the half -time siren. Oldenburg is just ahead (52:48).
Third quarter with runs on both sides
The energy at the beginning of the second half lies near Oldenburg. The team now also has its own arena in her back. But Ulm holds against it. Leader is Mark Smith in this phase for guests. The building actor led his team to victory in Ankara two days ago in the Eurocup. Small runs of both teams now shape the game. Neither Oldenburg nor Ulm can settle in the last minutes of the third quarter. And again the Oldenburg threesome falls with the siren. 70 to 70 it is before the last ten minutes of play.
Oldenburg weakens, Ulm wins
The last quarter begins. Ball losses in series determine the match. After three minutes, Oldenburg weakens itself through an awkward campaign. Chris Clemons, up to this best Oldenburg thrower, catches up with a technical foul after a normal foul. With the fifth foul, the game is over for him. Ulm uses the favor of the hour and plays a respectable lead until the final siren. The 93 to 86 away win is a real work victory two days after the game in the Eurocup for Ulm. In the end, Christopher Ledlum with 20 points is the best Ulm thrower.
Ratiopharm Ulm is already challenged in the league on Saturday. Then the German runner -up has the Rostock Seaawolves as a guest in his own hall. Oldenburg will play at Telekom Baskets Bonn on Saturday.
