Bavaria with a false start
The Bavarians were completely off the mark in Crailsheim at the beginning. Coach Andrea Trinchieri’s team only scored eleven points in the first quarter. By the break, Munich recovered from the eleven point deficit and came up to 37:40.
Crailsheim, however, did not give up and again showed a strong performance in the third quarter. Therefore, the hosts went into the final section with 60:50 (30th minute). There they could not be taken away from the lead. TJ Shorts scored 21 points. KC Rivers (23 points) was the best Bayern thrower.
Bonn with a strong third quarter
On the other hand, the Bonn appearance in the eighth success in a row against the MBC was sovereign. Only in the second quarter did the Baskets let the guests from Weißenfels come closer (54:47). With a furious third round (36:18), the game was quickly decided.
