Three more wins to go until the double…
The FC Bayern basketball players are in the final of the playoffs in the easycredit Bundesliga.
With 75:61 (33:38), the Munich team also won their third game against Würzburg Baskets and now have a chance to win the double. Coach Pablo Laso’s star team already won the cup in February. Bayern have been waiting for the championship title since 2019.

Bayern got themselves in the mood before the game with a title: Together they watched the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund (2-0) in a bare physio room in the Würzburg team hotel.
Bayern coach Pablo Laso (54), who won 22 titles with the Royal Basketball team over the course of eleven years, is a big Real fan and was cheering.

The preparation for Würzburg was different: “We just have to sleep. Sleep well,” was the motto of Würzburg coach Sašo Filipovski (49).
And the underdog is wide awake. After four minutes, the score is 10:3 – for Würzburg. Laso (54) is furious and takes a time-out. Leandro Bolmaro (23) has to leave after missing two three-pointers and a lay-up. And the Argentinian is extremely annoyed, hits the boards and briefly leaves the hall.

The Würzburg team is on its last legs! Not only MVP Otis Livingston (27), who was seriously injured in the first quarter-final match (torn medial ligament in the knee) against champion Ulm, is missing. Now the pain in Isaiah Washington’s (25) ankle is too great and the American is out.

But Bayern were not focused under the basket and didn’t score for four minutes. 14:5 – the small gym in Würzburg was in a frenzy. There are 3140 seats in the tectake Arena, which is also often called the “gym hell”.
“Playing there is unpleasant. It’s crowded, it’s loud. Sometimes 3,000 people can be louder than 20,000,” said FC Bayern captain Vladimir Lucic (34) recently.
Bayern have to go through hell
The first quarter goes to the clear underdog 18:12. Bayern fight their way back and Würzburg is furious because Javon Bess, one of the best defenders in the league, receives his 4th personal foul early on (the 5th is the end of the game for him) and Bayern fights. The title favorite goes into halftime with a score of 38:33.
4 minutes are enough for Ibaka
But Bayern have Serge Ibaka (34). The mega-star simply makes the difference (19 points/eight rebounds).
The NBA champ (2019 with Toronto) puts Bayern on track in the third quarter – at one point he takes a 10-point lead. Again and again Ibaka, who contributes eleven points in a row within four minutes.

55:43 – Bayern want the sweep and the three world champions Andreas Obst (27), Niels Giffey (32) and Isaac Bonga (24) ensure Bayern’s stability.
Carsen Edwards at DYN: “Now we want to win the final. No matter who we’re playing against.”
For Bayern, the next match is on Saturday (8.30 p.m., live on Dyn/ADVERT) at the BMW Park in Munich. Either against Alba Berlin or Chemnitz. One thing is already clear: the final opponent has definitely played one more game. The other semi-final series is currently tied 1:1.
