Bayern Munich back on track after victory over Ludwigsburg
The basketball players of FC Bayern Munich have halted their negative trend and achieved a sense of achievement in the Bundesliga.
The team of Head Coach Pablo Laso defeated MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg 92:84 (39:27) in its own arena. Munich's best scorers were Sylvain Francisco (20 points), Devin Booker (15) and former NBA professional Serge Ibaka (15). It was Bayern's fifth win in its eighth league game of the season.
However, November has been a mixed bag for the German cup winners so far. The victory over Ludwigsburg, which was unchallenged for long stretches and was also watched live by national coach Gordon Herbert, was just the second in the seventh game this month. The Laso team has weakened noticeably of late, especially away from home and on international stage.
Other teams, such as champions Ratiopharm Ulm and rivals Alba Berlin, have made a better start to the season in the league. In the coming week, the Munich club will host Asvel Villeurbanne in the Euroleague and newly promoted Rasta Vechta in the league.
