Ninth BBL victory in a row: Bonn marches on
And Bonn, too, rushes from victory to victory. The 89:83 (53:40) against the Löwen Braunschweig was already the ninth success in a row for the team of coach Tuomas Iisalo, who had replaced Bayern Munich at the top of the league on Christmas Day. Jeremy Morgan was Bonn’s best thrower with 24 points, and the guests from the middle of the table never turned out to be a real threat. The baskets have not lost since mid-October.
Crailsheim climbs up
The Hakro Merlins Crailsheim (9: 5) made a big jump to fourth place in the table with a 92:82 (50:41) success at the Niners Chemnitz (8: 5). The Belgian Elias Lasisi was outstanding among the guests with a total of 29 points. Chemnitz only showed a better performance in the fourth quarter (23:18) and had its best thrower in Trent Lockett (16 points).
Heidelberg’s bankruptcy series continues
For the newcomer MLP Academics Heidelberg, who started the season so well, it was the ninth defeat in a row. At the Fraport Skyliners Frankfurt the Heidelberg team lost 82:87 (32:32) and are now level with the Hessians in the table with 8:20 points.
The game between medi Bayreuth and EWE Baskets Oldenburg was canceled due to a quarantine order for several Oldenburg regulars who tested positive.
Gießen missed a break
In the basement of the table, the Jobstairs Gießen 46ers missed a break. The Hessians lost the long balanced game at the MHP Giant Ludwigsburg 96:87 (52:50) and slipped to 17th place.
