Sweat it Out: MBC's Play-ins Hopes Hang in the Balance After Loss to Ludwigsburg
- MBC Suffers Defeat, Falls Short in Qualifying for Play-ins
The Syntainics MBC squad find themselves in a nail-biting predicament, sweating over a Play-ins spot, following a frustrating 85-76 (38:28) defeat at the hands of MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg. The home team snatched the first game with a narrow 70-76 victory, snatching the direct comparison.
Led by Joel Scott (21 points), Hunter Maldonado (14 points), Ezra Manjon (13 points), and a strong showing by Brandon Tischler, Dominykas Pleta, and Justin Simon (all 11 points apiece), Ludwigsburg seized victory. The visiting team put up a fight, with Michael Defoe (19 points), Ty Brewer (16 points), Ivan Tkachenko, and Charles Callison (each 10 points) scoring heavily for the guests.
The guests thrived on their stifling defense in the first half, but couldn't quite capitalize on it to seal the deal, maintaining a double-digit lead throughout. Regrettably, they failed to turn their impressive defense into a game-winning performance.
Ludwigsburg made the decisive move in the final minutes, powering through with a thrilling 7:0 run that tipped the scales from 66-65 (35.) to 72-66 (36.), and later stretching their lead to a more insurmountable 81-72 (39.).
