(sid). Basketball cup winner Bayern Munich took the first win of the season in the Bundesliga in the second attempt. Three days after their EuroLeague defeat against FC Barcelona, the team of coach Andrea Trinchieri won against Löwen Braunschweig 96:80 (57:42) and thus prevented a complete false start after their opening defeat against ratiopharm Ulm.
Defending champion Alba Berlin, on the other hand, stumbled with 62:74 (33:45) against the Giants Ludwigsburg for the second time.
Berlin’s conqueror remains in the front of the table as does MBC Weißenfels on the heels of the unbeaten top teams Academic Heidelberg and Brose Bamberg after three games. Weißenfels won the chase duel with the Merlins Crailsheim with 116: 111 (99:99, 55:53) after extra time and drew in lockstep with Ludwigsburg with his second win of the season with the Telekom Baskets and the Niners Chemnitz. Bonn also had to acknowledge its first defeat at the BG Göttingen on Saturday with 81:90, as did Chemnitz with 72:86 against Bayreuth.
Munich were in the lead against Braunschweig from the start and didn’t even fall behind in the further course of the game. The title contender’s most successful thrower two days before his third EuroLeague game at Unics Kazan in Russia was Deshaun Thomas with 18 points.
Berlin, which is challenged again in the European premier class like Bayern on Tuesday and is already under pressure after its two opening defeats against the Turkish top team Fenerbahce Istanbul, fell behind in Ludwigsburg despite a good opening phase towards the end of the first quarter. Despite 20 points from his outstanding US star Luke Sikma, the champion was unable to regain the lead and had to lose contact with the top for the time being.
