The SYNTAINICS MBC continued its dominant run in the Basketball Bundesliga on Sunday, securing a dramatic 77-73 victory over the SKYLINERS Frankfurt.
The win marked the fifth Bundesliga triumph for the Weißenfelser, who also set two new club records in the process, sportschau.de reported.
Playing in front of 2,746 spectators at their home venue, the MBC overcame an 11-point deficit to claim their sixth straight victory in all competitions. The team’s late-game heroics, capped by clutch free throws from Jure Planinic and Borisa Simanic, sealed the outcome and etched their names into the club’s history books.
The SKYLINERS controlled the early stages of the game, establishing a commanding lead. Frankfurt held a nine-point advantage at halftime and extended it to 11 points shortly after the break, leading 64-56 entering the final quarter.
The MBC mounted a relentless comeback in the final period. Back-to-back three-pointers from Kostja Mushidi and Spencer Reaves narrowed the deficit to just two points at 62-64. Anthony Gaines then tied the game with two successful free throws with 4:36 remaining, setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion.
The outcome was decided in the final seconds. With eight seconds left on the clock, Jure Planinic made a defensive play to prevent a potential go-ahead basket by Frankfurt. Planinic then stepped to the free-throw line and converted his attempts. Borisa Simanic followed with his own pair of free throws, putting the MBC ahead 77-73 and sealing the victory.
DeLonnie Hunt led the MBC with 18 points, while the team’s balanced scoring attack was key to overcoming the SKYLINERS’ early dominance.
With this win, the SYNTAINICS MBC has matched two club records. The five-game winning streak in the Bundesliga ties a mark previously set during the 2014/15, 2024/25, and 2025/26 seasons. The six consecutive victories in all competitions also matches a club best, achieved during the 2024/25 season.
