The Munich team started with problems and ran after a deficit from the second minute. Because they lacked ideas on the offensive, Kaunas continuously expanded their lead (22: 16/10.). The team of Austrian trainer Martin Schiller managed the lead up to half-time (40:35). It got hot immediately after the siren when a pack formed. The referees were able to calm the situation down quickly.
Brief tour of Munich, Kaunas strikes back
The game remained intense and Bayern were further behind (56: 51/30.). Only in the final section did the tide turn: Jalen Reynolds briefly brought the Bundesliga club into the lead (57: 56/32.). But Bavaria could not maintain this. Kaunas struck back again and cheered thanks to Grigonis.
“We had a chance to win, but Grigonis makes a big hit. I think we defended solidly. But he was better in the last attack. It hurts to lose that way.” FCBB coach Andrea Trinchieri
Grigonis also the most successful thrower
The game maker, known in the BBL as a former Alba Berlin player, was also the most successful thrower with 22 points. At Bayern, where Vladimir Lucic was missing, Jalen Reynolds was most successful with 17 points.
