From the beginning, it was a close game between Bonn and Berlin, with neither team able to pull ahead by more than six points in the first half. Bonn went into the locker room with a 41:40 lead, as they received more impetus from the bench and did not lose the ball as often as Berlin.
The hosts maintained a narrow lead for a long time in the third quarter before Louis Olinde (18 points) brought the Berliners back with three three-pointers. In the final section, the guests were always just ahead, and as in the second game, the decision was made in the final minutes: thanks to world champion Johannes Thiemann (18 points), the Berliners scored in four attacks in succession to decisively pull away to 91:81.
