After the 17th win in a row, the Telekom Baskets Bonn are still missing a win to win the main round of the basketball league.
The Rhinelanders clearly won the surprise team BG Göttingen with 95:60 (53:33) and with a record of 30:2 victories they are ahead of pursuer Alba Berlin (30:3). The first in the main round has home rights first in the playoffs.
Two days after the 83:75 coup against FC Bayern Munich, the team from Göttingen, who had already qualified for the playoffs, only kept up with the leaders in the first quarter. After that, the baskets picked up significantly. Bonn went into half-time with a 20-point lead and steadily increased their lead after the break. Bonn’s best shooters were Tyson Ward and TJ Shorts, each with 17 points.
ratiopharm Ulm is about to participate in the playoffs after an extension thriller. Thanks to 36 points from national player Karim Jallow, coach Anton Gavel’s team defeated the Syntainics MBC from Weißenfels after two extra seasons with 128:122 (111:111, 98:98, 48:55). The hosts still need an achievement to safely participate in the knockout stages. Weißenfels, on the other hand, still has to worry about staying in the league.
