Berlin (AP) - The Niners Chemnitz had to accept the expected defeat on the 16th matchday of the basketball Bundesliga.
At Master Alba Berlin, the team of coach Rodrigo Pastore lost on Sunday with 65:83 (27:34).
The best thrower from Chemnitz was George King with 15 points.
In the table, the Saxons remain in the lower midfield with eight points.
In addition to the injured Filip Stanic and Joe Lawson, Pastore continued to do without new signing John Gillon.
His team defended aggressively in the initial phase and provoked several misses and ball losses by Berliners.
Alba coach Aito Garcia Reneses took a time-out in the 3rd minute when the score was 6: 2 for the Saxons.
Subsequently, the Chemnitz-based company failed to further expand their lead.
The Niners gave many free throws in the attack and remained without further points until the first quarter break.
On the other hand, an average performance was enough for the Berliners, who had been weakened by replacement, to go into the second section with a 17: 6 lead.
In this, the guests showed a slight increase in attack and were able to reduce the gap to seven points by the half-time break.
