Alba Berlin continues to stir in the basketball Bundesliga! On Sunday, the Berliners suffered a narrow defeat against Rasta Vechta with 93:96 in front of 3,140 spectators. This defeat is already the fifth in the eighth game and leaves Alba in the lower third of the table, while they remain without a win. Matteo Spagnolo was the best thrower of the Berliner with 22 points, followed by Ziga Samar, who contributed 13 points.

The return of Louis Olinde and Malte Delow initially brought a breath of fresh air after breaks, but five regulars were still missing. Alba started strongly and quickly set off 6-0. But Vechta's hosts, who took the first break after a minute and a half, quickly found the game. In the second quarter, the Berliners even managed to take the lead with 15 points (41:26). But then the game tipped: Vechta improved his defensive and punished Alba's weak defense with several three-point throws, so that the Berliners went into the cabin with a deficit.

After the half -time break, the Berliners fought to catch up and managed to take the lead at 71:70 at the beginning of the last quarter. But in the crucial phase, Vechta players demonstrated the better nerves. Alba's weak litter quota from a distance and the inaccurate free throws ultimately cost them the victory. Another bitter chapter in the season for Alba Berlin, which urgently needs to increase to escape from the crisis.
