That’s it with the dream of participating in the Euroleague Playoffs again. Due to the clear defeat at Olimpia Milan, FC Bayern Basketball can no longer reach the top eight.
The Munich team was in the playoff quarterfinals of the best basketball league in Europe twice. This season, the dream is over four games before the end of the main round. Due to the clear 74:99 (36:49) defeat at Olimpia Milan, the team of coach Andrea Trinchieri with a record of 11:19 victories has no mathematical chance of reaching the knockout stage in the premier class.
Preliminary decision in the first quarter
The game was actually decided after just ten minutes. The Italians clearly led 25:8 against overstrained Munich. It didn’t get any better at the beginning of the second round, on the contrary. At times, Milan was ahead with 23 points (34:11/14th minute). The outstanding Andreas Obst was able to shorten the gap single-handedly until the break. With 19 points, including five successful shots from distance, the national player scored more than half of Bayern’s points after 20 minutes.
Since Obst did not score as often after the change of sides, the hosts were able to extend the lead again. From the Trinchieri team’s point of view, it was 54:72 in the final round. In the fourth quarter, Bayern had no chance again and ended up losing by a margin of 25 points. The best scorer among the guests was the strong Obst with 27 points. The German international Johannes Voigtmann scored seven points for Milan.
