13 wins in a row for Alba in Easycredit Basketball Bundesliga. Braunschweig with five bankruptcies in the last six games. Clear thing, right?
Think! Braunschweig overruns Alba Berlin 34:14 in the first quarter! In the end he got the deserved victory with 90:81 (49:31). High-speed basketball in front of world champion Dennis Schröder! The Braunschweig native is back in the hall for the first time, having missed the NBA playoffs with his Brooklyn Nets.

“We arrived yesterday. “I’m enjoying time with the family now,” said the 30-year-old on the Dyn microphone. “I’ll be here for the next few weeks, I just have to fly over twice to sort out a few things.”

But why isn’t it working for Alba? Because they have more injured players than healthy ones: Louis Olinde, Gabriele Procida, Ziga Samar, Matteo Spagnolo, Johannes Thiemann, Matt Thomas and Yanni Wetzell – all injured. Khalifa Koumadje suspended. “I have never experienced anything like this in my career. We have to survive somehow,” says Martin Hermannsson.
About the game: The Lions were able to maintain their 20-point lead after ten minutes almost until halftime (49:31) – because Alba was ice-cold from the outside (zero for eight from the three-point line). And because they keep failing under the basket against the Braunschweig Wall Jilson Bango.

“We are currently paying the price here for the last few weeks, when we played with a small squad,” says Alba’s assistant coach Sebastian Trzcionka. “We have to find the energy. You have to force yourself to go for the rebound in order to still have a chance here.”
His team gets involved and works their way into the game. And when Wetzell reduced the score to ten points (57:67) and clenched his fist in a combative manner, Braunschweig called a timeout. Lions coach Jesus Ramirez: “Play with confidence!”

But the Lions are now afraid of winning. Heavy legs, lame arms. And bad thoughts. Everything that worked in the first three quarters suddenly stopped working.
Two threes from Brown and Mattisseck bring Alba to 70:65 (35th). Is the game over? No! Because Nicholas Tischler and TJ Crockett rammed two three-pointers into the heart of Berlin to make it 78:67 (36th).

Braunschweig’s Brandon Tischler (17 points) then at Dyn: “We were recently disappointed with our performance. Today we thought less, played as a team and won with a lot of energy. We have now beaten Munich and Alba. That’s a very cool feeling.”
Albas Yanni Wetzell: “We were a step too slow from the start. But we’ve only been playing with seven or eight men for weeks. In the end we made it close again. But it wasn’t quite enough. We have the next game in 40 hours.”
Alba remains second, Braunschweig is now twelfth, with little chance of making the play-ins.
