FC Bayern can still win close games!
After two away defeats in a row, the Munich team slowed down the decline in the EasyCredit Basketball Bundesliga and beat the MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg with 92:84 (39:27).
“We are trying to find our identity and it is getting better and better, especially in defense,” said development player Sylvain Francisco (26). “I’m not worried at all at the moment.” The smallest Bayern professional is only 1.85 meters tall – but he still made the giants small. They suffered their first away defeat of the season.
Despite the double matchday week in the EuroLeague, there is no sign of fatigue for the cup winners. With a 12-0 run in the first quarter, they pulled away from the eyes of Gold coach Gordon Herbert (64) (18:7/9.). Munich sets the pace – Ludwigsburg doesn’t get any defensive pressure on the ball.

In the 13th minute (27:11) Ludwigsburg coach Josh King (38) has had enough. Time out! Instead of calling a move, he barks at his professionals: “Everyone just looks around, you do it, you do it. Now show yourself damn it!”

That works (but only for a short time): The giants increase the pressure and make it 30:25 (18th). But Munich counters the run.
NBA star Serge Ibaka (34) makes the difference with his presence under the basket. It’s of little use that Ludwigsburg hits much better from the three-point line in the second half. Because when things get tight, little Francisco is there – and plays his best game for Bayern with 20 points and six assists. The Frenchman: “I scored 20 points because of my team. We played our plays really well and shared the ball.”
Despite six defeats in the EuroLeague, the top scorer of the afternoon sees a positive development: “We stick together and try to stay as positive as possible. It’s hard, but we’re doing a lot better now.”
With a world champion comeback: FC Bayern Basketball beats MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg
There is also confidence: world champion Isaac Bonga (24) is making his comeback after a hip injury. And there is also good news from the second golden boy Andi Obst (27/). “It’s getting better. It was a strain under my foot, but the medical department took care of it pretty well and I’m feeling a lot better and I’m optimistic that I’ll be able to intervene again next week.”

Emotional Moors return: BG Göttingen – Telekom Baskets Bonn 77:101
Roel Moors (44) worked in Göttingen for three years and led the Violets into the play-offs for the first time since 2011. In the summer, the Belgian then moved to Champions Leaue winner Telekom Baskets Bonn. And also took key players Til Pape (25) and Harald Frey (26). For all three there was applause instead of whistles.
Moors: “I was really happy to see the people again. That was a special game for me. Of course I really wanted to win the game. That was emotional for me.”
When they returned, there were no gifts in Bonn’s 1000th BBL game. Moors’ team hit 19 three-pointers. The best thrower was Savon Flagg (24) with 23 points.
Göttingen center Karlis Silins (26/23 points): “We tried to resist physically. At the beginning we managed quite well. Then we relaxed for a few minutes and they took advantage. We lost the game then.”
Würzburg Baskets — ratiopharm Ulm 83:88
The champions are superior for a long time, but then wobble a lot in the final phase. Würzburg are only four points behind with 22 seconds left. With nine seconds left it’s just one point! The Baskets are up 83:84. Mega tension! Ulm has the ball. Würzburg fouls. Ulm captain Thommy Klepeisz goes to the line. First free throw – in! Second free throw – in! Strong nerves! 8.5 seconds left. Würzburg in possession of the ball – loss of the ball! LJ Figueroa punishes the ice-cold score to 88:83! End! Bitter for the baskets…
