Champion Alba Berlin showed no weaknesses against relegated JobStairs Giessen 46ers and took the lead in the BBL.
After the undisputed 109:80 (61:43) success, the defending champion now has 52:12 points, only second are Telekom Baskets Bonn (52:16), who have already completed all the main round games.
Only Bayern can overtake Alba
Alba now has the best cards in the race for the “pole position” for the playoffs. With just one more win in the remaining two games, the cup winner would take first place and thus make the home advantage perfect until the end of the championship round. Only Bayern Munich (46:16), the last opponent of the Berliners, can still overtake them mathematically.
Playmaker Maodo Lo was given a break at Alba, and the hosts’ best thrower on Wednesday evening was Jonas Mattisseck (19 points). Due to the defeat, it is clear that Gießen will end the season bottom of the table.
