Oldenburg completely outplayed and dismantled the Crailsheim Merlins with a score of 99:63 in the sixth round of the German Bundesliga.
The game didn’t start well for both teams, with only 14 and 15 points scored in the first quarter. However, the offenses became more productive in the second quarter. The “Eagles” held a four-point lead, which gave them the confidence to accelerate after the break.
That’s exactly what happened. Coach Pedro Calles’ team scored 33 points in the third quarter, and that proved crucial for their victory in this match. Oldenburg retains the top spot, and they are likely the most pleasant surprise in Germany this season.
Mitteldeutcher secured their first win of the season. Former team of Stefan Bircevic defeated Gottingen 97:89 in front of the home crowd, and they now share the last spot with the aforementioned Crailsheim.
