After their clear opening defeat at newly promoted Vechta, the Bamberg Baskets also made a mistake on the second matchday of the Basketball Bundesliga. On Monday evening, coach Oren Amiel’s team lost 79:109 to the Niners Chemnitz in front of 4,592 spectators and was shown off at times in the second and third quarters. 0:17 points from quick attacks were on the statistics sheet at the end of the game, as was a clearly negative ratio in the number of ball losses (19:10). Top scorer on Bamberg’s side was Justin Gray with 14 points. “I’m ashamed and disappointed. Bamberg has such a great history as a club, and it’s not just about winning or losing, but above all about the spirit,” said Coach Amiel. The Franconians, as Brose Baskets champions nine times in 13 years, are now bottom of the table.
