Back at the top of the table, but the coach is struggling…
No, FC Bayern basketball coach Pablo Laso (56) is anything but satisfied after the narrow 81:80 win in the easycredit BBL against Hamburg Towers.
At the last second! THIS block prevents Bayern’s defeat

But it’s not about the performance of his team, but about the performance of the referees.
In the spotlight: FC Bayern captain Vladimir Lucic (34). The veteran is playing his eighth season in the BBL and has won the championship title twice and the cup four times with Bayern.
He is an absolute top performer for Bayern, but Lucic polarizes his opponents.
Review: It’s the last minute in Hamburg, the Towers seem defeated. But then they force overtime with two three-pointers. Shortly beforehand, Lucic was thrown off the court with his fifth foul – for flopping. In basketball, a flop is the act of faking a foul by your opponent. A player simulates previous physical contact with the opponent through his own body movement. If the attempt at deception is recognized, a technical foul can be imposed.

But against Hamburg he got his fifth foul after a successful basket attempt by the Towers, which is not possible according to the regulations.
Laso rages: “Certain things against my players bother me. I didn’t understand what was whistled against Lucic. That’s why I’m not happy.”
And the Spaniard makes it clear: “People don’t come to see Pablo Laso or the referees. They come to see great players. So let them play too.”
String, strings, BBL?
For the Spaniard, who won every possible title in European basketball with Real Madrid for eleven years, the refereeing performance in Hamburg is incomprehensible.
Laso: “Before I came to Germany, I was told things about Lucic that I couldn’t believe. Now I’ve seen her. That’s hard to understand.”
In the end there is Bayern’s victory and regaining the top of the table. The premier class continues against Barcelona in the BMW Park on Thursday. Bayern have to win and hope for mistakes from the competition so that they can still reach the play-ins for the finals.
Good for Lucic: In the Euroleague, referees whistle less often. Will it help in the end?
Early handicap in the top duel THIS action almost costs Alba the game!
