That was it: The relegation from the basketball Bundesliga is as good as certain for the Skyliners Frankfurt. The Hessians also lost in Hamburg and only have a minimal mathematical chance.
The descent of the Skyliners Frankfurt from the Basketball Bundesliga is almost certain. The Hessians also lost in Hamburg 58:68 on Wednesday and remain bottom of the table. There is still a minimal mathematical chance that Frankfurt will stay in the league. Only if Frankfurt wins the remaining four games, the Löwen Braunschweig lose all games and at the same time the Gießen 46ers also end up with ten wins in the end, would the 2004 champions stay in the league thanks to the direct comparison.
The game in Hamburg began for the Skyliners with two particularly offensive, extremely weak quarters. After half-time, Frankfurt only had 21 points. In the second half, Frankfurt was unable to catch up on the nine-point deficit.
