On Saturday evening, the Albatrosses were lost at the MBC in Weißenfels with 76:94. Despite an interim lead at half -time of 50:43 and a strong performance by Matteo Spagnolo, which was the best thrower of his team with 16 points, the Berliners could not solve their problems from a distance. They only met three out of 16 trials, while the MBC showed a strong game and the experienced John Bryant particularly supported the hosts, such as rbb24 reported .

Even the ruffles of assistant coach Israel Gonzalez could not prevent Alba from having to dock with the seventh defeat of the season.
