Berlin (dpa) - Alba sports director Himar Ojeda was extremely satisfied after the clear 101:77 victory in the pursuit duel of the basketball Bundesliga in Crailsheim.
"That was a very good statement to beat a very strong opponent in their hall," said the Spaniard.
With the tenth league win in a row, the Berliners took second place in the table.
But there is no long time to enjoy.
Preparation for the next game begins on Thursday.
The home game against medi Bayreuth (7 p.m. / Magentasport) is on the packed program on Friday.
The sports director expects a lot of resistance from the Franks.
“They are a well-trained team that is getting better and better and that recently took a big win in Hamburg.
You can also prepare for a long time, ”warned Ojeda.
Once again it will be an energy issue for Alba.
She was there against Crailsheim.
And "we never stopped showing this energy in the back," said youngster Malte Delow.
So Alba was able to play its class despite three injured top performers and dominate a direct competitor.

Alba even allowed himself the luxury that the otherwise reliable Luke Sikma was the only Berliner who didn't score any points.
“That makes the win even bigger because our best player didn't play the way he usually does.
Although he had important phases in this game too, »said Ojeda.
And the Spaniard added: "Others have stepped into the breach for this."
Playmaker Maodo Lo took on a leadership role on the team.
“He has a lot of responsibility at the moment, but he does it very well and reads the game very well.
It helps us tremendously », praised Ojeda.
