With an offensive fireworks display, ratiopharm Ulm wins against Bamberg Baskets. Five and a half minutes are enough for Ulm to turn a deficit into a 17-point lead.
It was a special game for him with a strange feeling, coach Anton Gavel said before the game against Bamberg, against his former and future club. And it was a particularly beautiful game in front of 6,000 spectators in the sold-out Neu-Ulm Arena on Saturday evening with a great feeling for Coach Gavel too. With the 106:90 win, ratiopharm Ulm celebrated its third impressively strong win in a row and further improved its position for the playoffs.
High scoring rate with 62 points in the first quarter
Threesome here, threesome there. The direction of the game is given right at the beginning. The score is 6:6 after successful distance throws on both sides. The BBL classic between Ulm and Bamberg offers the best basketball entertainment with fast back and forth and high hit rates. The Franconians converted seven of nine three-point attempts. After a first quarter with a lot of points, Ulm are slightly behind (29:33).
Ulm leaves Bamberg’s shooters free
It continues like this in the second section. Lots of leadership changes. Ulm also often scores from a distance, but also often leaves Bamberg’s shooters criminally exposed on the three-point line. The strong Ulm center Trevion Williams excels from close and long range, scoring 15 points by halftime. At the break Ulm was slightly behind 52:53. Coach Anton Gavel certainly cannot be satisfied with the defense until then.
Bamberg on the ground – Karim Jallow in top form. At the start of the second half, the Ulm player played really well.
Imago / Langer
The German champions needed just five and a half minutes after the restart to turn the deficit into a 17-point lead. Justinian Jessup made the score 75:58 with a three-pointer. Karim Jallow, who is bursting with energy, becomes the driving force. He shines at the back with an attentive defense and fuels his way up front through the Bamberg zone. In the end he got 21 points. With their now aggressive defense, the Ulm team almost drove their guests to despair, forcing Bamberg to lose nine balls in the third quarter alone.
Ulm’s lead grows to 24 points
In the final section, the champions quickly increased their lead to 24 points. Now the magic happens: Thomas Klepeisz with a dream pass to the incoming Williams, who finishes with a dunking. “We want to see the hundred,” sing the fans, who celebrate the victory long before the end of the game. In the last few minutes Bamberg comes close again. But there is nothing more than cosmetic results.
