Julius Böhmer lets it rip! Williams snatches the ball from the opponent on rebound and plays out to Böhmer. This pulls energetically to the basket and stuffs the ball but something of pure. And the And-one is on top of that.
37
19:41
O’Showen Williams is in double digits after his treble and has two steals as well as a ball thief. At least he can still do some result cosmetics here. Maybe they still manage to surpass the 47 points from the last game.
35
19:37
You can’t deny the hustle of Sašo Filipovski’s team. They make an effort, they fight, they try a lot, but hardly anything succeeds.
34
19:34
Cheatham is 20 points ahead. The third in the table briefly flexed their muscles. Definitely nothing burns here anymore.
32
19:30
Sašo Filipovski takes the time-out because Bayern have a strong start in the last period. Giffey sinks after strong ball movement from outside after Cheatham had previously had too much space in the zone and was able to score there.
31
19:26
Beginning of 4th quarter
30
19:26
Conclusion 3rd quarter:
The Würzburg Baskets actually win the quarter with 14:7. They owe it on the one hand to their strong defense in this round and on the other hand to their three converted triples in a short time from Griffin, Williams and Böhmer.
30
19:24
Niels Giffey ended the home team’s 8-0 run with a layup. This goal also marked Bayern’s first goal in almost six minutes.
28
19:21
Head coach Andrea Trinchieri doesn’t like the behavior of his players at all in the second half. Accordingly, they were rebuked by him loudly during the break.
27
19:20
O’Showen Williams hits a three and scores the sixth point for the Lower Franconia in this round. The Munich team only scored five points here. This is probably nothing for offensive lovers.
25
19:14
The good start of the baskets has already fizzled out again. Defensively it looks at least a little better, in attack absolutely nothing goes together. You must be careful not to undercut the score from the last game.
23
19:10
Zipser serves Gillespie in the mail, gets it back directly to the pear and can shrink wrap completely freely. That’s too easy then.
22
19:09
Felix Hoffmann sinks from downtown and counters a jump shot by Obst from the long two-man area. In the next play, the Würzburg team force a shot clock to run down. Good start for the hosts!

Mid-term conclusion:
The hope for an exciting game is fading minute by minute and those who stick with the Würzburg team must be particularly strong these days. Because after the clear defeat against the Berliners, it looks like the next big bankruptcy today. The baskets just don’t manage to play good deals offensively and if they do, they are awarded too often. The offensive is too dependent on individual skills and plays. The guests, on the contrary, play surprisingly serious and strong team basketball with a total of 14 assists and 40 points. Their scoring is also very spread out, but the 14 rebounds by Cheatham and Gillespie against the 11 rebounds of the entire home team are striking.
19
18:43
Whittaker has long been back on the field, but that doesn’t change much. The guests around fruit are in the middle of an 8:0 run.
18
18:40
Fruit is showing strong performance so far! In a fast break, he comes to the basket with a euro step and puts it in.
17
18:38
Head coach Sašo Filipovski is extremely angry during the break. In particular, he focused on what he considered to be insufficient defense. Maybe his team needs just that fire.
15
18:34
Cheatham is pretty forgiving under the basket today. But since he is energetically pursuing his own misses, he already has 4 offensive rebounds.
14
18:30
Whittaker now gets a break. These are the minutes in which it is important for Lower Franconia not to fall too far. If they stay within striking distance here, that’s a very good sign for them.
13.
18:29
Now a good defensive sequence from the home team. They manage not to allow a shot towards the basket, which causes the shot clock to run out. This defense is constantly needed to make this game successful.
11.
18:26
And as soon as he was spoken to, Whittaker sunk a triple from dribbling over Cheatham on the first play of the second half!
11.
18:25
Beginning of 2nd quarter
10
18:25
Conclusion 1st Quarter:
As expected, Bayern lead in an interesting game worth seeing with 18:12. The home side are clearly too dependent on Whittaker’s creation on the offensive. If he has difficulties, the Baskets game has them too.
8th.
18:16
Zipser misplaces an actually open layup after a good drive and with it the chance of a seven-point lead.
7.
18:13
The guests have probably made it their offensive goal to position themselves against Whittaker and to isolate and attack him in a targeted manner. This has already become clear in a few plays.
4.
18:10
After a long technical interruption, the game continues!
4.
18:06
Again it is the interplay of fruit and Gillespie that provides the next points. All three of the visitors’ baskets came from assists. This is definitely a big special for them.
3.
18:04
Stanley Whittaker makes a statement from the middle distance from the dribbling!
2.
18:02
Fruit is played on the line of three and doubled by the baskets. Due to the high attention paid to him, Gillespie is free under the basket. He scored the first points of the game with a lay-up after playing fruit.
17:54
Home team player O’Showen Williams spoke about what needs to change today compared to the game against Alba. They would not have met a lot of open threesomes that they had to meet today. In addition, they would have to stick to their game plan, but they would have processed the high defeat quickly. Coach Trinchieri from the guests, on the other hand, warned of Hunt and Whittaker, as expected.
17:52
In the first leg, head coach Andrea Trinchieri’s team won the Bavarian duel 83:73. The top scorer of the game was Isaac Bonga with 18 points and an additional 10 rebounds. The overall record is clear with 17 wins in 21 games for Munich.
17:40
Form check: Bayern are on a strong run in the league. They have been unbeaten there for six games, but overall they have had very strenuous weeks due to their international appearances. The hosts, on the other hand, are playing against the second EuroLeague participant in a row after losing 76:47 against defending champion Alba Berlin. In the three league games before the defeat against the capitals, they were able to bring in three victories, two of which could be won through great willpower after extra time.
17:37
In terms of the table situations, a team can do its job well today. If they win, Munich will qualify as the third team after Alba and Bonn for the playoffs. And the guests definitely want to achieve that, because of course they also want to have home advantage in the first round of the playoffs and not have to do it abroad. The Würzburgers are in a completely different situation. In eighth place, which would also be the last place qualifying for the playoffs, they have two pursuers, Rostock and Bamberg, who want to contest their participation. However, these two pursuers lost their games, which means that the Baskets can take an important step today.
17:29
Welcome on Easter Monday to the Würzburg Baskets game against FC Bayern Munich on the 27th match day of Germany’s top division, the BBL. The game will be played in the tectake Arena Würzburg at 6 p.m.!
