No easy win for Bayern Munich
After a rough start in the Basketball Bundesliga semifinals, FC Bayern Munich is back in the game! The defending champs bounced back from their unexpected loss to MLP Academics Heidelberg, winning Game 2 by a score of 90:61. This resilient comeback has evened the series at 1-1, giving Bayern a second chance to advance.
The battered Bayern team fought through their sluggishness after a long break, having played their last quarterfinal game against Syntainics MBC eight days ago. "It wasn't a walk in the park," commented Bayern's World Cup-winning coach Gordon Herbert before the game.
During Game 1, the regular season leaders struggled to find their rhythm, eventually falling to the resourceful Heidelberg team, who barely escaped relegation last season. But in Game 2, Bayern turned things around and started to dominate, with Damariae Horne scoring 26 points, Michael Weathers racking up 23 points, and Marcel Keßen contributing 17 points and 11 rebounds for the visitors. Vladimir Lucic scored 22 points for Bayern, but it wasn't enough to prevent their upset loss.
