The first team to be relegated from the basketball league is certain: The 82:66 (49:41) victory of the Basketball Löwen Braunschweig at the Giessen 46ers means that the Fraport Skyliners have to make the difficult transition to the second division.
With three games left, Frankfurt can no longer leave the relegation zone.
After a first half that was balanced for long stretches, the Lower Saxony pulled away after the break and only allowed the hosts nine points in the third quarter.
The Niners Chemnitz also won 88:82 (38:43) against s.Oliver Würzburg.
