Alba Berlin has recovered from its opening defeat in the basketball Bundesliga and has reported back with a show of force.
The club from the capital clearly defeated the Fraport Skyliners from Frankfurt with 101: 63 (50:30).
Thus, new coach Israel Gonzalez was also able to look forward to his maiden win on Tuesday evening. The best thrower in the home win, which was never in danger, was Marcus Eriksson with 21 points. Already after the first quarter the Berliners led with twelve points. The lead grew steadily. The Skyliners remain without a win. In Frankfurt, Quantez Robertson missed the mark of 4000 points in the BBL for the time being. The 36-year-old, who has been playing for the Skyliners since 2009, is still missing a counter.
Brose Bamberg also fought for the second win of the season with a 89:87 (39:38) against the Jobstairs Gießen 46ers.
Seven minutes before the end, the hosts were behind with 14 points.
In an exciting encounter right down to the last throw, Omar Prewitt became the match winner.
The newcomer not only converted the decisive attempt, but was also the best thrower of the game with 32 points.
