Alba Berlin has achieved its ninth win in a row in the Basketball Bundesliga. On Sunday, the Berliners won at home in front of 7,446 spectators against the giants Ludwigsburg thanks to a strong offensive with 100:91 (55:44). Alba remains third in the table. The best Berlin throwers were Sterling Brown with 21 and Yanni Wetzell with 18 points.
For coach Israel Gonzalez, the first bad news came before the game: seven players were missing. World champion Johannes Thiemann, Gabriele Procida and Matteo Spagnolo are injured. Justin Bean, Jonas Mattisseck, Elias Rapique and Louis Olinde were unable to take part due to illness.
The Berliners started well and quickly led 8:2. A subsequent Ludwigsburg 10-2 run gave the visitors their first lead, but the Berliners remained unimpressed. With a lot of speed they were increasingly causing problems for Ludwigsburg. They also dominated the rebounds.
At the start of the second quarter, Alba continued to pull ahead with a 16-2 run. Only then did Ludwigsburg hit their shots a little better. After the break, the game became more hectic and turbulent. Many interruptions almost caused Berlin’s flow of play to come to a standstill.

After a long-term concussion, Alba Berlin’s Louis Olinde has found his smile again. Alba Berlin’s Joker. A Malte Delow, three positions. Lucy Reuß on Alba’s great chance for the title. “A real basketball fever has arisen.”
The guests acted much more physically, at the border and often over it – usually without punishment. Ludwigsburg came within five points in the final phase (91:86), but Alba prevailed in the end. (dpa)
