The ninth victory in eleven defeats in the European premier class – for Bayern to reach the play-offs again – the eight best teams – is no longer utopian. At Baskonia Vitoria, Munich improved after a weak initial phase in the second quarter (26:16), in which they laid the foundation for the away win, which put them in eleventh place in the table – with just one win less than eighth (currently Anadolu Istanbul).
After the break, the spectators saw an even game, in which the ex-Munich player Wade Baldwin (23 points) played to the fore for the Spaniards. Bayern now had the right answer to all the tactical finesse of the hosts, and they also hit the important shots in the final phase.
