Alba Berlin achieved a must-win victory in the Basketball Bundesliga. The Berliners clearly won against bottom team Löwen Braunschweig with 94:73 (46:38). Alba thus reduced the gap to league leaders FC Bayern, who lost in Hamburg, to two plus points. However, the Munich team played two fewer games. The best Berlin throwers were Malte Delow with 19 points and Justin Bean with 16 points.
Point guard Martin Hermannsson celebrated his comeback after an injury break for the capital club. The Icelander was clearly aware of the long interruption. But his teammates also had problems finding their rhythm. And so in front of 3,863 spectators there were initially a lot of missed shots on both sides.
