Alba Berlin said goodbye to the year with a clear home win against the Basketball Löwen Braunschweig.

Alba Berlin said goodbye to the year with a home win. Just two days after the success against Ludwigsburg The Berliners also clearly defeated the Basketball Löwen Braunschweig with 104:73 (42:31). Alba ends the calendar year in third place in the Basketball Bundesliga. The best Berlin throwers in front of 9,067 spectators were Moses Wood with 18 and Malte Delow with 13 points.

As on Monday, the hosts initially had problems finding their offensive rhythm. The two defensive lines initially dominated because Alba didn’t allow much. Braunschweig defended with high intensity and left Berlin little room for open throws. Alba was usually in the lead, but the guests always stuck with it.

Alba can improve

The hosts also allowed themselves too many unnecessary technical errors, which Braunschweig was able to punish again and again. It was only shortly before the break that the Berliners got a little better going offensively and were able to take their lead into double digits for the first time with an 8-0 run at half-time.

But even after the break, Alba had problems under her own basket and allowed the guests too many second chances to throw. But they had now found their rhythm on the offensive. Wood alone sank three three-point throws in a row. The Berliners were able to pull ahead by 21 points in the third quarter (66:45). And it remained clear until the end.
