(sid). Three days after the EuroLeague highlight in Barcelona, the FC Bayern basketball team suffered a setback on the Bundesliga floor. The Munich team had to admit defeat at the Hamburg Towers with 83:87 (38:41), but remain third in the table. In the meantime, Telekom Baskets Bonn consolidated first place with a 78:76 (42:28) win against BG Göttingen and are therefore certainly home right in the playoff quarter-finals.
Bayern, who equalized 1-1 in the EuroLeague quarter-finals on Thursday by beating FC Barcelona (90-75), fought back in Hamburg after a weak first quarter (13-24). In the end it wasn’t enough for the win, the best thrower of the guests was Deshaun Thomas (28 points).
After the tenth win in a row, Bonn can no longer be pushed out of one of the first four places with 50:14 points. Behind the leader follow champions Alba Berlin (46:12), Bayern (44:16) and the MHP giants Ludwigsburg (42:18). “We were in a big hole and then we found a way. As in previous games, that speaks for the character of the team,” said Bonn coach Tuomas Iisalo.
Meanwhile, the Gießen 46ers won the Hessen duel at the relegated Skyliners in Frankfurt 76:75 (38:32). The penultimate table from Giessen (14:46) still has poor prospects of staying up, the MBC from Weißenfels (20:44) is far away in 16th place.
