After an overall very decent second quarter, the Saxony-Anhalt revealed some concentration problems in the last few moments. Huskić searches for the upshaw in front of the basket with a ground pass from behind the free-throw line. The latter is surrounded by opponents and the pass is not difficult to read, Thomas intervenes and wins the ball.

19:40
Between the two Morris threes, Thomas in turn punched a pretty wild throw from the center behind the line of three.
18
19:38
James Morris seems to have planned something. His next three-pointer falls off the pear before his heat check from half-left behind the line finds its way into the net.
17
19:35
With two consecutive successful shots from downtown by Nick Weiler-Babb and Nihad Đedović, Bayern pull away again.
15
19:34
Rebić is cornered in the left corner by Đedović and actually has hardly any chances. But Bryant keeps Schilling well away from him and thus prepares the small corridor for him to the free-throw line. The Croatian pushes energetically into these, starts the floater and hits with a foul – and one! The bonus roll is also on point.
15
19:30
By the way, Jaramaz, Rubit, Zipser and Radošević get a break for the home team today.
14
19:28
In the next attack, Bryant puts his shooting guard Mushidi in almost the same spot and the leather rushes through the net again. The MBC is back!
13
19:27
Hilliard is fouled on his next three-point attempt and hits two of the three free throws. On the other side, Morris grabs an enormously heavy step back jumper right behind the line, but he does that too.
12
19:25
The Central German Basketball Club now has to be careful that the favorite doesn’t escape them. Veteran John Bryant takes responsibility, doesn’t hesitate a bit after a short cross pass from Mushidi from the left and puts three more points on the scoreboard for his team.

19:23
The Weißenfelsers start directly with two more ball losses in the second ten minutes. On the other side, Hilliard circles a block on the right behind the line and sinks the next shot from outside.

19:22
The second quarter has begun.

19:21
Quarter conclusion:
With Hilliard’s successful three from the left corner, Bayern lead 24:18 after the first ten minutes, in which MBC can keep up well. However, the wolves have already caused seven turnovers, so they have to be more careful.

Hunter back-to-back layups! After the time-out, Big Man is served tenths of a second before the shot clock runs out by Weiler-Babb, who moves from the right into the middle, under the basket and easily puts the ball in. He then plucks a somewhat wild pass from George out of the air from the left, creates some space under the basket and scores two more points. Four quick counters for Hunter!

19:15
And then the underdog is back again! Nikola Rebić uses a pick from John Bryant on the pear, starts a three-pointer a good meter behind the line – and that falls too! Bayern coach Trinchieri takes his first break.
7
19:13
Bayern pulls away easily for the first time. Šiško is left completely free in the center behind the line, uses the space and throws the next three. Then Jamel Morris, who got into the game well, energetically pulls through the zone to the left and hits the layup with a plank on the underhand.

19:10
Vladimir Lučić has the perfect answer ready and in turn pots the attempt from downtown under pressure from the left half.
5
19:09
The first guided tour for the guests! After a quick ball movement, Morris gets the ball on the pear, has only three seconds left on the clock and takes the long three – with success!

19:07
After the early first points, the home side recorded a few misses, the MBC took the chance and equalized. John Bryant is served in the pick and pop left of the zone by Jamel Morris and sinks the half-distance jumper over the board.

19:04
Deshaun Thomas picks up where he left off against Gießen and gets his first four points early in the game.

19:03
The starting five: Đedović, Lučić, Schilling, Thomas and Weiler-Babb have been on the floor for Munich from the start. The wolves are Bryant, Morris, Mushidi, Rebić and Upshaw.

19:01
It goes into the opening quarter!
18:59
Here are some interesting numbers for the two teams. With a two-person rate of 57.2 percent, the guests are the third-best value in the league. However, only one team defends these throws better than Bayern, who keep their opponents at 50.8 percent on average.
18:53
Whether this should work today against Bayern Munich is questionable. Of the last six games, in which the Sachsen-Anhalter almost exclusively had to deal with teams in the playoff places, they could only win one. Most recently, they clearly lost to ALBA Berlin at home with 66 to 95.
18:52
The Syntainics MBC is in 16th place before the encounter and thus last non-relegation place, but has a fairly comfortable cushion. Gießen and the Fraport Skyliners have each been able to win four less and it seems quite unrealistic that they will still be dangerous for the Weißenfels team. Nevertheless, the wolves should not rest on their laurels and work on further victories.
18:38
FC Bayern Basketball, who are the big favorites going into the upcoming match, recently managed to win two games in a row. After successfully completing the regular EuroLeague season against Real Madrid, he defeated the 46ers from Gießen three days ago, with Deshaun Thomas putting up outstanding numbers with 34 points and six rebounds.
18:26
However, the southern Germans can already feel the breath of their pursuers breathing down their necks, who are just waiting for the champions of 2018 and 2019 to lose their feathers in order to improve their own starting position. The MHP giants in third place and ratiopharm Ulm in fifth place only suffered one more defeat, arch-rival ALBA in fourth even one less. The reigning champion still has two matches up his sleeve compared to the Munich side.
18:19
After Bayern have had a very tight schedule over the past few weeks, they can concentrate fully on the league these days before they head to Barcelona for the first quarter-finals of the EuroLeague on April 19. With a record of 20 wins and seven defeats, the title aspirant is currently in second place and has completed two games fewer than leaders Bonn. So everything is still included at the top!

Hello and welcome to the BBL this Wednesday evening! In the race for the best playoff positions, FC Bayern Munich Basketball has hosted Mitteldeutsche BC today. Tip-off in the Audi Dome is at 7 p.m.
