Again and again important ball wins
Ben Lammers returned to the German champions after his illness, but the injured Maodo Lo, Johannes Thiemann, Jaleen Smith and Marcus Eriksson were still missing. However, the team coached by Israel Gonzalez in the arena at Ostbahnhof was not influenced by this. In the middle of the first quarter, his team managed four successful distance shots in a row. Already at this early stage, Alba had a double-digit lead for the first time (17:6).
After that, however, the host left a lot offensively. Panathinaikos closed to two points again. Alba remained unimpressed, thanks to the very strong defensive work, conquered balls again and again. Before the break, the lead was double digits again.
Alba at times as if intoxicated
The Berliners came out of the dressing room with a lot of momentum and immediately put on a 17-0 run. In this phase, the hosts acted almost as if they were intoxicated and pulled away to 60:33. Athens was able to shorten the gap a bit in the meantime, but Berlin picked it up again in the last quarter and won confidently.
