Alba has no chance
In front of 9,235 fans in the arena at Ostbahnhof, the hosts had big problems with the Spaniards’ physical superiority from the start. Alba only managed three points in six minutes, so the deficit reached double digits (3:14) in the middle of the first quarter.
Afterwards, Alba fought a little better into the game and showed improvement, especially defensively. In the second quarter, Israel Gonzalez’s team got within three points (20:23). But there was still a problem offensively. Apart from Thomas (13 points in the first half), no Berliner scored consistently.
In the third quarter the guests finally pulled away. The Spaniards continued to hit their three-point shots. The Berliners also allowed them too many rebounds. At the end of the third period the deficit grew to 22 points (43:65). After that, Alba Valenicia Basket could no longer be dangerous.
The Albatrosses continue in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Alba Berlin welcomes the German champions Ulm at 5 p.m.
