Led by Thomas Walkup, who was in a good mood, the hosts continuously pulled away and mercilessly exploited Munich’s weak start. The interim 24:8 deficit was too big a burden for the rest of the game, even if the Laso team clearly improved.
They won the three remaining quarters, it was an even match. Given the high load and the absences due to injuries, the appearance in Greece is definitely okay. In the final minutes, Bayern even crawled back up to six points, but Sylvain Francisco narrowly missed turning the game completely inside out. In the table, despite the defeat, the Munich team remains within reach of the playoffs with a record of 6:7.
