Just one point! Bayern just barely misses disgrace

Cup winner Bayern Munich only with difficulty avoided embarrassment in the Basketball Bundesliga BBL. A newcomer immediately becomes a top performer.

Cup winner Bayern Munich only with difficulty avoided embarrassment on the 23rd matchday of the Basketball Bundesliga BBL.

At the bottom of the table, medi Bayreuth, the favorite won 80:79 (46:52) after a lot of shaking. The hosts had extra time in their own hands. The final attack went through Brandon Childress. However, the point guard, who ended up with 13 points, put the decisive three on the ring.

The fact that Bayreuth got the rebound and Bastian Doreth sank the second with the final siren was only a correction of the result. In the end there was a one-point lead on the scoreboard, in which Zylan Cheatham, who was only signed the previous week and scored the last four Bayern points, and Othello Hunter, each with 18 points for the Munich team, played a major role. On the Bayreuth side, Otis Livingston in particular made life difficult for the favorites with 20 points.

With their 16th win in the 22nd game of the season, Bayern secured third place in the table behind Telekom Baskets Bonn (21:2) and champions Alba Berlin (19:2).

“They played great, we fought our way through,” said Bayern professional DJ Seeley about the hard-fought success MagentaSport: “We have many injuries, but we do not look for excuses.”

Thanks to their twelfth competitive win in a row, Bonn maintained their lead over ALBA in the table 94:73 (54:45) over Würzburg Baskets on Saturday. The Berliners stopped their negative run after four bankruptcies with a 101:91 (50:49) against the Chemnitz 99ers.
