His team started very concentrated, worked very attentively defensively and could run the ball well in attack. Alba gave the hosts little chance and quickly pulled away. Last year’s finalist clearly won the first quarter with 30: 8.
The hosts fought harder in the second quarter, and Alba also made a few mistakes. So the Berliners let the Berliners continue to sell.
Even after the break, Alba came out of the dressing room well. At the beginning of the third quarter, the lead grew to over 30 points (59:27). The hosts did not give up despite the clear deficit.
