The Telekom Baskets Bonn continued their winning streak and further consolidated their lead in the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL).
Coach Tuomas Iisalo’s team won 95:60 (53:33) against Bayern, who conquered BG Göttingen. After 17 wins in a row, Bonn is 30-2 ahead of German champions Alba Berlin (30-3), who have already played one more game.
Shorts and Ward are the best pitchers in Bonn
TJ Shorts II and Tyson Ward were the top scorers with 17 points each for the leader, who broke away with a 10-0 run at the beginning of the second quarter and steadily – and apparently effortlessly – extended his lead until the half-time break. Till Pape scored eleven points for the team from Göttingen, who defeated third-placed Bayern Munich 83-75 on Sunday.
Ulm wins after extra time
Ratiopharm Ulm is about to participate in the playoff 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.
