The hosts came out of the dressing room more dynamically and were able to extend their lead again at the beginning of the third quarter.
Jan Niklas Wimberg scored from a distance to 60:45 (24th).
MBC coach Silvano Poropat took a break, but his team continued to reveal too large gaps on the defensive.
Chemnitz went into the last quarter with a 71:57 lead.
MBC top scorer Michalak led his team back to seven points.
But the Niners had strong nerves and could not snatch their first home win of this season.
