Right on the first day of the basketball Bundesliga, medi Bayreuth and the Frankfurt Skyliners delivered a real thriller with extra time.
In the end, the hosts prevailed 83:82 (72:72, 30:39) after Frankfurt had led for almost the entire season. The hosts’ best pitcher was the outstanding Brandon Childress with 30 points.
Frankfurt, who were relegated last season and only included thanks to a wildcard this season, gave up an apparently safe lead when they were literally overrun by Bayreuth in the last quarter. The Skyliners’ best pitcher was Martina’s giving with 17 points.
