Bayern comes close, but then collapses

Anton Gavel’s team, who played professionally for FC Bayern between 2014 and 2018, was initially unable to maintain his level. The hosts defended more consistently and even briefly took the lead after converting free throws from national player Andi Obst. Then Ulm turned up the heat again and Thomas Klepeisz led his team to the 44:39 half-time score with a buzzer beater. Trinchieri raged on the sidelines.

After the change of sides, Bayern initially fell apart completely. Simple ball losses and an extremely weak defense meant that Ulm was 18 points ahead. As if out of nowhere, the Munich team – led by Captain Obst (34 points) – then started to catch up and closed the gap to within three points. But the urge phase came too late and Ulm trembled thanks to their point guard dos Santos (21 points) for the match point next Friday (June 2nd, 2023) in their own hall. “We made it unnecessarily exciting“Gavel said on MagentaSport. “In the end, victory is there, that’s what counts. Still, it has to get better.
