Mid-term conclusion:
The baskets from Bonn have been able to play to their strengths much better than in the first two games of the series. The Rhinelanders are very present on the offensive board today. With a little more luck from both downtown and the free-throw line, the lead could have been even higher, but with a difference of only five points, the game is still completely open.
20
18:48
However, Leon Radošević can block against Parker Jackson-Cartwright and gives Bayern the next fastbreak points!
20
18:47
Bonn retained possession of the ball in the final minute thanks to rebounds and opponent fouls.
19
18:45
Munich can now switch quickly twice and ensures that the gap melts to five points within seconds! Tuomas Iisalo immediately takes the next time-out and picks up his team at the center line.
18
18:43
You rarely see that, the Ukrainian’s free throw turns into airball. Bonn missed a lot of easy points today and could have led much higher.
17
18:42
Javontae Hawkins has space again. This time he didn’t drink target water, but Oleksandr Lypovyy grabbed the rebound and even got the foul out of the lay-up against Žan Šiško.
17
18:40
Notable: The guests’ run takes place without Parker Jackson-Cartwright.
16
18:39
In the subsequent ball possession, Javontae Hawkins again has a lot of space in the backcourt and extends Bonn’s lead to 13 points!
16
18:39
A three-point attempt by Leon Radošević then bounced off the edge of the basket and the baskets got the next rebound.
15
18:37
Then Jeremy Morgan adds a three-pointer from dribbling. Bonn suddenly leads by ten points, Andrea Trinchieri immediately signals the time-out!
15
18:37
The throws fall straight on both sides. Skyler Bowlin finds the gap with a single action.
14
18:35
On the other side, Radošević and Lučić act in short roll again. The Serb rushes in from the outside.
13
18:34
Very important threesome from Jeremy Morgan! Again, the throw arises from the offensive rebound.
13
18:32
Bayern finds a little better offensively. Tuomas Iisalo takes his first timeout.
12
18:32
Leon Radošević follows up and passes Vladimir Lučić under the basket. The Serb is unusually far ahead today.
11
18:30
That’s well defended by Nick Weiler-Babb. The 26-year-old Texan hints at the pass, but ultimately goes through with it himself and throws over Michael Kessens.
11
18:29
A body trick, Parker Jackson-Cartwright already has a big gap ahead of him. Bayern no longer defends as consistently as in the initial phase.
10
18:27
Quarter conclusion:
Bonn could have felt like they could have led even higher, but the three-man quota only increased in the course of the first quarter. Bayern aren’t really finding their rhythm yet.
10
18:26
An offensive foul by Nihad Đedović ensures that Hawkins can even add more from the three-point line. However, both free throws miss!
10
18:24
Javontae Hawkins makes sure that Bonn will have a lead in the first quarter break with a difficult three-pointer from the inside left attempt.
9
18:23
A Bonn fan bus broke down, so some of the supporters from the Rhineland are only now arriving at the Audi Dome.
9
18:22
Nihad Đedović from the start with a flawless threesome. Meanwhile, the baskets fall better on both sides.
8th
18:21
Now the people of Munich let their quality shine through. Ognjen Jaramaz loads Bowlin and also scores three points.
8th
18:20
Bonn finds its rhythm, Skyler Bowlin scores the next three from dribbling and screws his team into the lead by six points!
7
18:19
The Italian trainer is completely beside himself and criticizes the commitment of his protégés. Bayern hardly takes place offensively, defensively they have also eased off a bit recently.
7
18:19
When the shot clock runs out, Jeremy Morgan still hits the target. The rebound lands on Skyler Bowlin, who scores the second three for the Baskets! Andrea Trinchieri takes the first time-out when the score is 12:15.
7
18:17
The game has been marked by numerous interruptions so far and hardly picks up any offensive pace. Bonn now has five team fouls.
6
18:16
The first three of the game in Bonn. Morgan hits the fast break from the backcourt!
6
18:15
After all, the 26-year-old from Iowa pulls a foul and now puts his team in the lead from the free-throw line. Parker Jackson-Cartwright is getting a break.
5
18:14
The throw rate of the baskets has so far been more than expandable. Jeremy Morgan uses only one of the two free throws.
5
18:13
The referees look again at a possible unsportsmanlike retention of Nihad Đedović. The arm actually only goes in the direction of the abdomen and not to the ball. The referee team sees it that way and decides on free throws and subsequent ball possession for Bonn.
5
18:11
The Serb is also on the spot with the rebound and puts in. Munich pick up a little more speed offensively.
4
18:10
With a step-back three, Vladimir Lučić increases the lead to four points. The first successful threesome of the game.
4
18:09
The fifth attempt by the baskets is also unsuccessful! The positions are a bit unfavorable, but the throws are just not good either.
3
18:08
Deshaun Thomas fills up on the left and celebrates the first FCB lead with a bodybuilder pose.
3
18:07
Now Jeremy Morgan’s threesome rebounds from the back edge of the basket. However, the Bayern offensive is not taking place at all.
2
18:06
PJC tries again with a difficult threesome, but again nothing. It’s the third attempt from downtown that the people of Bonn have left behind.
2
18:05
First Saulius Kulvietis lets the three lie, then Parker Jackson-Cartwright is pushed to the outside and affords an airball. The FCB defense is wide awake from the start.
1
18:04
It starts! Even the first jump ball is hard fought.
18:02
the Starting Five: Nick Weiler-Babb, Nihad Đedović, Vladimir Lučić, Deshaun Thomas and Leon Radošević will start for Bayern. Bonn starts with Parker Jackson-Cartwright, Karsten Tadda, Jeremy Morgan, Saulius Kulvietis and Michael Kessens.
17:58
Žan Šiško is back on the Munich side. Augustine Rubit gets a break after the last rather weak performances and is not in the squad. Corey Walden is still out with a back problem.
17:43
Parker Jackson-Cartwright has only had 9.1 points per game against the stable Munich defense. The rate of three shots has shrunk from 30.2 to 9.1 percent compared to the main round, while the number of turnovers has increased from 3.2 to four. Today the baskets will have to get the MVP into better throwing positions.
17:33
Two things in particular are important for the baskets today: rebounds and Jackson-Cartwright. During the regular season, the former capital city got 13.9 offensive rebounds per game, in the series against Bayern it is only 8.5 on average. Andrea Trinchieri’s move to build up a large defensive line around Nihad Đedović has so far worked perfectly.
17:26
Only a single free throw separated the two teams on Monday. Ultimately, the Baskets had to admit defeat in the second game on the Hardtberg as well, it was 81:82 in the end. Now the series is moving to Munich for at least one game. On paper, it will be even more difficult for the baskets – FC Bayern has recently won eleven of twelve home games.
17:18
Far and wide only sweeps in the BBL playoffs. Will Telekom Baskets Bonn manage to keep the series alive for the minimum duration today with an away win at FC Bayern Munich? Tuomas Iisalo’s team showed good approaches in the first two games, but MVP Parker Jackson-Cartwright has to deliver today. It starts at 6 p.m. in the Audi Dome!
