The Alba Berlin team experienced a disastrous defeat against Mitteldeutscher with a score of 108-75 in the eighth round of the Bundesliga.
It seems that the defeat in Belgrade against Partizan has left a mark on Israel Gonzalez’s players. After the first ten minutes, we witnessed a tied game, but what proved decisive for the heavy loss was the second quarter. The team from Weissenfels scored 35 points compared to the modest 18 by the Berlin team.
The lead continued to grow and grow. Predrag Krunic’s team reached the mark of 80 points by the middle of the third quarter, and at the beginning of the last quarter, the lead extended to +33, which was the final winning margin.
They made an impressive 14 three-pointers out of 31 attempts, shooting 61% from the field. The standout performer was Chris Ebou-Ndow, who scored 23 points. With this defeat, Alba’s team lost the top position on the table, which they had previously shared with Chemnitz and Ulm.
