Bayern's basketball players end losing streak
FC Bayern Munich has ended its negative run in the Basketball Euroleague. The team coached by Pablo Laso won 94:85 (53:51) against Partizan Belgrade on Wednesday. The Bundesliga club had previously lost its last four games in the top flight. With a record of 3:5, Bayern have now caught up with the middle of the table. The Euroleague continues on Friday (7 p.m./Magentasport) at top Lithuanian club Zalgiris Kaunas.
Without the injured world champions Andreas Obst and Isaac Bonga, Munich initially had a few problems. The visitors from Serbia, who were supported by numerous fans in the arena, led by ten points at the start of the second quarter. Munich turned the game around with an increasingly strong Carsen Edwards and was already 53:51 ahead at the break. Bayern were also better in the third quarter and went into the final period 70:63 in front.
In front of the eyes of national coach Gordon Herbert and the former soccer world champion Bastian Schweinsteiger, the fourth quarter was a contested game. Former Ulm player Bruno Caboclo kept Partizan in the game. Munich were able to hold out and secured their third win of the season. Edwards was Munich's best scorer with 21 points.
Despite the absence of injured stars Andreas Obst and Isaac Bonga, Bayern's Basketball team showcased resilience in Munich, overcoming a ten-point deficit against Partizan Belgrade in the Euroleague. In their subsequent Euroleague match, Bayern will face Zalgiris Kaunas in Lithuania.
