Alba Berlin remains on course in the basketball Bundesliga and has achieved its seventh win in a row. On Friday evening, the capital city won in front of 7232 spectators against Brose Bamberg with 89:57 (41:24).
Alba remains second in the table, but has played two games fewer than leaders Bonn. The best Berlin throwers were Christ Koumadje with 14 and Tamir Blatt with 13 points.
At the German champions, Ben Lammers returned from injury to replace Tim Schneider, who underwent meniscus surgery.
Despite the tenth game in April, Alba started energetically and quickly took a 6-0 lead. In front of the eyes of the two Berlin brothers Moritz and Franz Wagner, who are active in the NBA, the hosts were particularly attentive on the defensive and only allowed a little.
With a 12:0 run, Alba pulled away with a double-digit lead in the first quarter (18:5). But not everything went smoothly for them either. So Alba allowed himself many misses. The lead remained comfortable until the break because Bamberg scored even less often.
Immediately after the change of sides, the lead grew to 20 points for the first time (44:24). But then the Franks came into play better and were able to shorten something. Alba remained unimpressed, increased the intensity and pulled away again to 64:41 before the last quarter. After that, the Berliners brought the victory to the finish with ease.
