Basketball: Victory in Ludwigsburg! Bonn fights its way into the BBL final | sports mix

The duel between the best teams for Germany’s basketball crown is perfect.

The Telekom Baskets Bonn are in the BBL final after the 82:73 in Ludwigsburg. With the third win in the third game, they stormed into the final against Ulm in best-of-five mode.

Bonn’s coach Iisalo at “MagentaSport”: “It’s an amazing feeling when you can trust your team one hundred percent.”

The Finn about opponents Ulm: “They play unbelievably attractive basketball. The two best teams are in the final.”

Setback for the guests before the game: Captain Karsten Tadda (34) is out for the rest of the season. He “underwent a minor surgical procedure on his back on Friday and therefore did not travel to Ludwigsburg,” it said in a statement.

Tough fight also in this duel. Ludwigsburg’s Will Cherry has to leave the field in the third quarter after a scuffle. Ironically, Cherry, up until then with 17 points the best scorer of the game

Bonn’s top star and MVP TJ Shorts doesn’t come into play for a long time, but has 20 points in the end. After a foul on TJ Shorts, Hubb, the second player from Ludwigsburg, had to leave the field after a disqualification (39th).

Mighty poison in the game.

Bonn coach Tuomas Iisalo (40) had accused giant captain Yorman Polas Bartolo (37) of being too harsh after winning the second game. The German-Cuban would even accept injuries.

Bartolo lashed back with a now-deleted Facebook post: “If you don’t like that, maybe ballet is a suitable sport for you.”

Giant trainer Josh King (37) in BILD: “We’ll chase them barefoot through hell, we’ll force the fourth game.” Nothing happened.

After winning the Champions League, Bonn can crown the season with the first championship in club history.
