The Champions League winner Telekom Baskets Bonn has broken the knot: In the third attempt, the basketball runner-up achieved their first Bundesliga victory in the duel of the winless with a 100:73 (45:34) against the Syntainics MBC Weißenfels.
Before the confident success against the new bottom of the table, the season had started with an unexpected false start for the Rhinelanders, who had been completely revamped during the summer break. The team of the new coach Roel Moors was inferior to the newly promoted Rasta Vechta and Tigers Tübingen.
Bonn fully rehabilitated themselves for the disappointing start to the new season against MBC. The guests from Burgenland were able to take the lead in the opening minute before the home team, who played as if they were liberated, got better and better as the game progressed. A class difference became apparent, especially in the second half of the game.
The hosts’ most successful throwers were Till Pape with 21 points and Christian Sengfelder with 16 points. In total, five Moors players recorded double-digit returns. On the MBC team, John Bryant stood out with 15 points, one ahead of three players with at least ten points.
