Alba Berlin lost their win in the season opener against Trier!
On October 3, 2025, at the season opener in the Basketball Bundesliga, Alba Berlin lost to Gladiators Trier 92:97 in front of 9,658 spectators. The Berliners started strong and were initially in the lead with 20:9. Boogie Ellis, who was the game's best scorer with 21 points, hit two three-pointers right at the start and set an early signal. After an early timeout, the Trier team found their way into the game better and improved their rebounding game.
Although Alba had a high throwing rate at the beginning, the Berliners faced increasing difficulties as the game progressed. The offensive performance slumped in the second quarter as the team didn't score a point for nearly five minutes and the lead dwindled to 36-32. However, the Berliners led 52:43 by halftime.
The course of the game
Things initially looked good for Alba in the third quarter, whose players consolidated the score to 75:68. Nevertheless, the lead wavered in the last quarter. Trier took advantage of Berlin's weaknesses in defense and was able to take the lead. Alba struggled with missed throws and ball losses and ultimately had to give up the game 92:97. This was the Gladiators' second win in the league.
In addition to Ellis, Martin Hermannsson also impressed with 19 points. Nevio Bennefeld, a homegrown player, also contributed to the team's performance by collecting important points and rebounds. The game was interrupted by a disturbing incident involving a drumstick, but this did not affect the flow of the game for the guests from Trier.
Outlook for the upcoming game
Alba Berlin will face Science City Jena on Sunday and has the opportunity to recover from this defeat. The challenges in the Basketball Bundesliga are diverse, and the pressure on the team is not decreasing after this opening defeat. How the team will perform in the coming games remains to be seen.
