Half-time conclusion:
The FCBB narrowly leads 46:41 against Baskets Oldenburg at the break. Both sides were secure defensively at the beginning before things broke off offensively. Numerous three-pointers dominated the game on both sides, and many points were scored at high speed. The Munich team led the way, but the North Germans knew how to keep up and follow suit. Bayern were repeatedly unable to pull ahead in the first ten minutes. Crandall directed the Baskets well and portrayed himself and those around him well. In the second ten minutes, the Emslanders started with two offensive fouls, on the other hand Bonga was hot, scoring eight points in a row. The gap reached double digits for the first time, but with a 10-2 run and a well-played center Ebuka Izundu, the guests stayed close. It’s been an even exchange so far, and we’re welcome to continue like this. See you in the second half!

After Weiler-Babb can only manage one free throw, Wank no longer has an ace up his sleeve before going into the locker room. From the parking lot he barely hits the board.
20′
8:47 p.m
It wasn’t Edwards’ floater, it was a carelessly given away possession. However, the Baskets have little idea with the shot clock, the Munich team regains possession of the ball. When there are two seconds on the clock there is another time out.
20′
8:45 p.m
The left corner seems to be the preferred target of the FCBB shooters today. Weiler-Babb also nets from the baseline for three, a good answer to the interruption due to all the fouls.
19′
8:43 p.m
Lots of discussion at the moment! The Baskets stand their ground, with a 10-2 run they continue to provide the best entertainment here. Bayern have now also collected five team fouls, everyone is arguing with each other, and Crandall takes advantage of this with two free throws.

Kenneth Ogbe lets Lučić fly past in the block, but his three-pointer doesn’t fall. So he misses out on getting his colors back into the lead after the 2-0 win…
18′
8:39 p.m
The Oldenburgers not only stick with it, they are also the expected unpleasant opponents. As soon as Bayern are not at 100%, then the Baskets come with concentrated power. This also happened with the next steal, DeWayne Russell completed it with a layup.

14′
8:31 p.m
Coach Pedro Calles has to react and interrupts Bayern’s run. The gap has already grown to ten points and there should be even more aggression against Bayern’s attack.

And he can do it! Bonga takes the third attempt from the three-point line at the baseline. Eight points in a row is a statement, Bayern pulls away with a clear run and pushes the Baskets into time out!

After two offensive fouls by the bigs, the Emslanders are still struggling to keep up. Chaundee Brown Jr.’s three-pointer should be a good foundation for this, and Lukas Wank’s two foul free throws also bring his team back into contact.

The Munich team went ahead in the second quarter. After a quick ball relay, Wimberg asserts himself under the basket and pushes the ball to Ibaka again with a touchdown.

Quarter conclusion:
After three sluggish minutes, both teams broke the knot and both sides scored reliably, especially from the three-point line. The home team in particular scored five times in a row from outside, but the Baskets knew how to hold on. The North Germans had a good director in Guard Crandall, but on the other hand Bolmaro shone in the first few minutes. In an entertaining high-scoring match, both opponents set the tone, everything is still open here.

Threesome for Crandall! The North Germans are also fully involved here and continue to hold their own. Once again, the pointguard is the linchpin of the offense and directs it unerringly.

8:14 p.m
Bayern’s last five shots were all from outside. 15 points from the whole field, all shooters are in the best throwing mood. An example would be Andi Obst, who safely sinks the ball over the ring from the baseline.

Both sides are picking up speed and are now finding their rhythm offensively. Both sides have now discovered three-point throws, so both sides are scoring points.

8:08 p.m
You can do it like that! Leandro Bolmaro is released in the middle position and sinks the deep three-pointer! Of course, this is an outstanding response to DeWayne Russell’s drive.
4′
8:06 p.m
The initial phase is primarily defensive. The rebounds under their own basket are secured, but strong blocking actions on both sides also decorate the first few minutes. So after three minutes of play, only six meager points come to the floor.

8:05 p.m
It’s twice Bolmaro who finishes in the box. He brings his colors to the front for the first time. Straight out of the transition, the guard has the reins in his hand and lays the leather smoothly over the ring.
2′
8:04 p.m
A lively start for both teams! With a lot of running movement on offense, free spaces should be created. But Bolmaro misses for the home team from the three-point line, on the other side Giffey Crandall also blocks the throw for three.

7:50 p.m
Bayern are once again going through mixed days, things aren’t always going well on the Isar. The balancing act between the domestic league and international business sometimes causes mixed feelings. The Munich team won all of the first four games in the new calendar year, most recently with 98:81 against the Hakro Merlins. But in the EuroLeague the southern Germans continue to tread water. After the bitter defeat against bottom team Lyon, there was a win against Saski Baskonia after extra time, but also the next slap against Olympiakos in their own hall. Currently three wins away from the play-in places, the momentum should pick up again today. In the league it is important to stay on the heels of the Chemnitz team at the Platz der Sonne before the showdown in the TOP FOUR in two weeks to defend their title.
7:40 p.m
Recently, the North Germans have increasingly shown their class. After the Baskets were badly hit by bad luck with injuries, more and more top performers are returning. The double international burden is also eliminated and the full focus is on the league. With three wins in a row, the Emslanders should play with a lot of self-confidence against the favorites from Munich. In particular, the long-running favorite DeWayne Russell with 17 PPG and the re-signed lucky striker Crandall with 15 PPG caused quite a stir recently and are likely to be the dominant players for the guests again today. In addition, Pedro Calles, a young Spaniard with his own philosophy, is on the sidelines – in an Iberian duel with his compatriot Pablo Laso, who conducts the FCBB in the old school way.
7:30 p.m
It is the third meeting between Bayern and Oldenburg. After the Baskets managed a surprising victory in the first duel, the Munich team want to continue to extend their winning streak in the BMW Park fortress at home today. Eight appearances in front of their own crowd, no team could take away anything countable. On the other hand, the Lower Saxony team won five away games this season, which is more than in their own stadium. An explosive duel is likely to be on the agenda, the Munich team is aiming for the top of the table, the Baskets have one of the coveted play-in places in sight.
7:20 p.m
Hello and welcome to the 19th matchday of the Basketball Bundesliga! The Baskets Oldenburg are playing at FCBB in Munich, tip-off is at BMW Park at 8 p.m.!
