Chemnitz Niners Closing In on Playoff Berth Amid Stunning Comeback
City of Chemnitz on the Brink of Direct Playoff Qualification - Pre-showdown atmosphere in Chemnitz (Germany) ahead of the playoffs
Get ready for some playoff action, folks! The Chemnitz Niners are on the brink of securing a direct spot with a potential win under their belt. They recently overcame the Veolia Towers Hamburg, winning 93-88 on the road. The game's standout scorers were Victor Bailey Jr. (23), Jacob Gilyard (17), Roman Bedrime (15), DeAndre Landsdowne, and Olivier Nkamhoua, who put up 11 each.
The Niners started off poorly, with Hamburg leading 29:12 after the first quarter and extending that lead to 59:37 by the 25th minute. It seemed like a tough hill to climb, but cheer up, Niners fans! The team displayed an incredible comeback, narrowing the deficit to eight points (65:57) in a mere four minutes. The game then saw its first tie at 80:80, thanks to a Landsdowne three-pointer, just three minutes from the end.
Incredibly, the Niners kept their cool in the final stretch, managing to overcome a 22-point deficit and winning the game. What made the difference? Superior three-point shooting. While Chemnitz made nine of their 33 attempts, Hamburg only managed to convert six of their 30.

If that isn't enough to get you excited, factor in that the Niners have secured home court advantage for the first round of the playoffs!
