Telekom Baskets Bonn remain the first pursuers of leader and champion ALBA Berlin in the basketball Bundesliga.
Due to the 77:62 (46:34) success at the Rostock Seawolves, the Rhinelanders have a record of 17:2 victories and are on a par with the defending champions (17:1) in terms of the number of successes.
Even though playmaker TJ Shorts didn’t have a good day with just six points, it was enough for the Baskets to have an easy win. Tyson Ward (12 points), Finn Delany and Sebastian Herrera (11 each) scored best for coach Tuomas Iisalo’s team.
Brose Bamberg continues to hope
Brose Bamberg have new hopes of making the playoffs. In the Fraport Skyliners, the former series champion won clearly with 100:83 (54:35) and with a balance of 9:11 is only one success behind ratiopharm Ulm (10:9), who won the coveted eighth and last playoff rank.
The Würzburg Baskets (10:10) fell to ninth place with a 83:98 (41:53) against the Syntainics MBC from Weißenfels.
