Now it’s faster again! Thomas Klepeisz and Isaac Bonga score from the line of three, then Karim Jallow dunks Yago’s great pass!
21
20:19
The third quarter also begins with free throws. Ognjen Jaramat is fouled in the three-way movement and uses all three attempts. This is actually the early equalizer for Bayern!

Beginning of 3rd quarter

20:03
Mid-term conclusion:
After a playful first quarter with clear advantages for the hosts, the second quarter was much more mixed up. The slow pace is actually something that suits the people of Munich. Despite this, they were only able to gain four points. The Trinchieri protégés rarely make it into the zone.
19
20:00
Yago pulls the next foul. He converted six out of six free throws within just two minutes of the game.
19
19:59
Bayern come out of the break with a Bonga threesome. The ex-NBA legionnaire was particularly vocally addressed by Trinchieri.
19
19:57
Just in time for the final phase of the first half, the sparrows can pull away again, Philipp Herkenhoff hits the completely open three! Andrea Trinchieri takes the time-out, his team is six points behind.
19
19:55
With Yago, the next player is on the ground. He unluckily takes a knee from Zylan Cheatham in the spin.
18
19:54
The second quarter is also characterized by fouls and free throws. After the first round, which was fun to play, there is now much more material for discussion.
17
19:51
An open threesome by Brandon Paul unhappily pops out again. The sparrows can be happy that they are still in the lead.
16
19:50
From the free throw line, Jallow finds his way into the flow. He even gets an extra try because Weiler-Babb gets the technical whistle.
15
19:49
Now Jallow is also cleared by Weiler-Babb! At first glance, this is a monster block, but the referees whistle the foul. Weiler-Babb is right to be upset about the strict whistle.
14
19:48
After the break, Karim Jallow tries three times from the line of three. But he doesn’t hit! He hasn’t had any success from the free-throw line either, it doesn’t seem to be his day.
14
19:43
Munich is now more concentrated and only lost the ball in the second quarter. Instead, it is now the people of Ulm who appear too hectic. Anton Gavel takes time out.
13.
19:40
The basket counts and Giffey also converts the subsequent free throw. Bayern is suddenly back to a point!
13.
19:40
Niels Giffey starts to the basket and pulls the foul. Or not? This scene isn’t very clear either, Ulm complains about mistakes.
13.
19:39
The refs are very much the focus right now. Many small decisions are checked again. Andi Obst has just been called a foot game.
12.
19:35
Now the threesomes fall! Brandon Paul counters Ognjen Jaramaz. Meanwhile, Bruno Caboclo fouls Freddie Gillespie, but the foul takes place shortly after and the basket counts.
11.
19:32
Missed threes on both sides. Is this hitherto extremely fast game now taking its first break?
11.
19:32
Beginning of 2nd quarter
10
19:31
Quarter conclusion:
Ulm started the quarter with a high level of concentration and impressed with a strong three-point quota, while Bayern didn’t really find their feet offensively due to seven turnovers.
9.
19:28
Juan Núñez also misses his two free attempts. But it doesn’t matter because Thomas Klepeisz grabs the rebound and nets for three!
9.
19:25
Jaramaz and Cheatham come back for Winston and Harris. Let’s see if they can keep the Munich attack wave going.
8th.
19:24
On the Ulm side, things are no longer coming together. Karim Jallow misses both free throws.
8th.
19:23
Corey Walden gets a candid threesome. That is of course also a quality of Bayern, suddenly they are down to four points!
8th.
19:22
At least Winston makes it to the free-throw line with a quick drive. So far only Bayern have reached the team foul limit.
7.
19:21
So what is that? Cassius Winston throws the ball in the opponent’s heels. Since the Munich look rightly irritated.
6.
19:19
Five out of six is the three-point quota for Ulm after Robin Christen also scored from the outside! An impressive starting quarter for Gavel’s protégés.
6.
19:18
Meanwhile, Andi Obst also has his first threesome. Munich can thank their acceptable three-way quota that they are still within reach. Nothing works in the zone.
5.
19:16
Yago uses only one free throw, but the sparrows use the additional ball possession. Bruno Caboclo sticks through to Robin Christen, who is lurking under the basket.
5.
19:15
Niels Giffey hits the three, but immediately it’s bad news for FCBB again. Freddie Gillespie easily keeps his shoulders clean against Yago and gets whistled for the unsportsmanlike. A tough decision.
4.
19:13
Has a threesome of the sparrows ever gone wrong? Thomas Klepeisz is completely open in the right corner.
4.
19:12
All good things come in threes, now Ognjen Jaramaz gets his first points from the line of three. He throws over Yago.
3.
19:12
“It’s all good,” Trinchieri tries to calm down his protégés. Munich are already behind with nine points.
3.
19:11
The next fast break from Ulm, Karim Jallow shows self-confidence and saves from the right corner. The threesome also works, Andrea Trinchieri sees himself forced to take a break early on!
3.
19:10
Ognjen Jaramaz, who is new to the starting line-up, also fails his second throw completely, the floater mutates into airball.
2.
19:09
Thomas Klepeisz hits it from the left corner, then Karim Jallow also manages to score easy fast break points! Not a good start for Munich.
1.
19:08
Yago dos Santos scores the first three from the inside right. It’s good for confidence. The hall is immediately full.
1.
19:07
The game starts about five minutes late! Bayern in white is first in possession.
19:05
The Starting Five: Yago dos Santos, Thomas Klepeisz, Karim Jallow, Robin Christen and Bruno Caboclo start for Ulm. Bayern start with Ognjen Jaramaz, Andreas Obst, Isaac Bonga, Niels Giffey and Freddie Gillespie.
18:59
In the last quarter of the last game, Andrea Trinchieri set up significantly smaller and was able to increase the three-point quota. That could also be a measure for today.
18:39
After Ulm had only finished the main round in seventh place, hardly anyone would have bet on the Munster townspeople. But with the former Madrilenian Juan Núñez (18) Anton Gavel has a top talent in his team, and the Brazilians Yago dos Santos and Bruno Caboclo are in top form punctually. “We grew together over the course of the season. That’s the secret,” Gavel revealed one of the reasons for the unexpected success.
18:30
In Ulm, however, the euphoria is great. The Spatzen could move into the final for the first time since the 2015/2016 season. Within an hour and a half, all 6,000 available tickets for tonight’s game were sold. “The focus is on this home game. It’s just about the one game now. That’s how you have to approach things. Otherwise it’ll be difficult for your head,” head coach Anton Gavel doesn’t want to get caught up in thoughts of a possible final series.
18:18
In game two, Bayern were able to go long distances as well, and a late comeback led by Andi Obst was no longer rewarded. After the early end in the EuroLeague, the next bitter disappointment could soon hail for Munich. “A lot of people think it’s over. I don’t think so,” says Andrea Trinchieri despite the 2-0 series deficit.
18:13
They continue to surprise, the people of Ulm! After the quarter-final coup against ALBA Berlin, things are looking surprisingly good in the semi-final series against FC Bayern Munich after two games. The Spatzen won both games in the Audi Dome and now have the home field advantage on their side. They could already make the series clear today, otherwise the Münsterstadters would still have two match balls available. It starts at 7 p.m. today in the Ratiopharm Arena!
