Hey there! Let's dive into the world of basketball and talk about the Syntainics MBC squad. They've got a tough task ahead after falling 76:85 (38:28) to MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg, missing out on securing a direct spot for the Play-ins. Coach Janis Gailitis' crew couldn't make it two wins after their home victory of 76:70.

The game was a thriller, with both teams showcasing impressive offensive and defensive skills. But it was Ludwigsburg who shone brighter, thanks to some standout performances. Top scorers for Ludwigsburg included Joel Scott (21 points), Hunter Maldonado (14), Ezra Manjon (13), Dominykas Pleta, Brandon Tischler (each 11), and Justin Simon (10). For the guests, Michael Defoe (19), Ty Brewer (16), Ivan Tkachenko, and Charles Callison (each 10) led the scoring charge.

Ludwigsburg started strong, living off their outstanding defense in the first half. However, they couldn't translate this strength into a decisive lead, keeping the score close. In the closing minutes of the game, Ludwigsburg turned the tide with a decisive 7:0 run (65:66 at 35 minutes to 72:66 at 36 minutes) and later to 81:72 at 39 minutes. The guests ultimately faltered due to their 15 turnovers, a mistake Ludwigsburg made only seven times.
