The Niners Chemnitz are still unstoppable in the Basketball Bundesliga. The table leader clearly prevailed against Hakro Merlins Crailsheim with 95:67 (48:40) and thus confidently maintained the top spot.
Kevin Yebo (20 points, eight rebounds) and Jeff Garrett (16 points, eleven rebounds) were the best players in Rodrigo Pastore’s in-form team on Boxing Day.
Champion Ratiopharm Ulm, the former series champion Alba Berlin and top favorite FC Bayern have so far been in the shadow of the strong Chemnitz team, who have not lost since the start of the season in Ulm.
The Munich team mastered their compulsory task against the Tigers Tübingen. The score was 96:74 (46:32) and the game was already decided at halftime. Sylvain Francisco (20 points) was the guests’ best thrower. For coach Pablo Laso’s team, which had some weaknesses at the start of the season, it was the fourth league success in a row.
