Bayern Munich’s basketball team suffered their ninth defeat in the EuroLeague despite a strong performance.
In the home game against the Spanish star ensemble from Real Madrid, the team of coach Andrea Trinchieri lost 64:68 (39:42) on Tuesday evening and are still far from the playoff places. After a 6:0 run in the final minute to 64:66, Munich could briefly hope for a surprise.
US center Othello Hunter was Bayern’s best pitcher with 14 points against his former club. The Cape Verdean 2.20 m giant Walter Tavares also scored 14 points in the royal team around the former world and European champions Sergio Llull and Sergio Rodriguez.
Bayern are back in action in the premier class against Valencia Basket on Thursday.
