“Bonn dominates with 17th consecutive win and eyes main round championship, while Ulm and MBC deliver thrilling double extension game”

The next victory candy for Bonn!

The leader of the table gets the 17th win in a row (!), confidently defends first place in the basketball Bundesliga with a win at the favorite killers from Göttingen, who have already defeated Bayern and Berlin.

Bonn still needs one win to become the “main round champion”. Göttingen no longer has a chance of fourth place.

In the second Tuesday game, Ulm and MBC deliver an amazing game. With double extension!

Goettingen-Bonn 60:95

Catch-up game from matchday 24. The game had to be rescheduled because of two ten-hundredweight WWII bombs that were found near the Sparkassen-Arena in March.

The people of Bonn with a bombshell performance! The victory of the team around MVP candidate TJ Shorts (17 points) never really burns. Now the leader of the table only needs one win to bag first place in the main round and the ultimate home right in the playoffs.

The final phase of the regular season is tough for Bonn: Three games in six days. A hard rest program. After the Göttingen game, coach Tuomas Iisalo’s squad stayed in Lower Saxony for the night before traveling to Bamberg the next morning, where the game will be played on Thursday. The season finale is at home against Ulm on Sunday.

After that, a really big title is already within reach! The Bonn team will play in the semi-finals of the Final Four in the Champions League in Spain on May 12 against hosts Unicaja Malaga.

Göttingen’s Javon Bess at MagentaSport: “We didn’t do what we set out to do. Bonn defended well and let us run a lot.”

Ulm — Mitteldeutscher BC 128:122

Wow, what a catch up! Ulm are ahead up to one minute and 19 seconds before the end of the third quarter – then suddenly MBC is there! The 72:71 is the very first lead for the guests, who are now 14 points behind.

Excitement three and a half seconds before the end: Suddenly 123:96 is on the scoreboard. The score is 96:96. The game must be interrupted. Technicians try to solve the problem, but somehow it doesn’t work that quickly. The referees and players are laughing on the floor.

The MBC in possession – and a bad pass! Kris Clyburn throws the ball past John Bryant. What’s going on there? Everyone expects a throw-in from Ulm, then the referees suddenly decide to give MBC a free throw. Slow motion shows: Ex-Ulmer Bryant is probably being held by Bruno Caboclo. Both free throws go in. 98:96! Now Ulm have possession of the ball again.

Pass to Caboclo. Foul! Two free throws for the ex-NBA star. Number one — in! Number two — too! Renewal!

Also in extra time there is chaos with the result again. 106:107 instead of 106:106. And at 111:111 nothing is displayed correctly, Magenta commentator Christoph Stadtler: “This technology drives you crazy.”

It even goes into the second extra time, in which the Ulm team prevails against exhausted guests.

Bryant bei MagentaSport: “We don’t have many people and the game was way too long. I am very proud of our achievement. We had chances to win.”
