Overview
- Alba erased a 42–52 deficit with a 26–2 run to win Game 4 and level the BBL final series 2–2, forcing a decisive Game 5 in Munich.
- The comeback was driven by defense that held Bayern to 16 second-half points and by tight on-ball work that neutralized Bayern shooter Andi Obst.
- Bench and role players supplied crucial offense as Justin Bean hit multiple threes, J'Wan Roberts scored efficiently inside, and Malte Delow played strong on-ball defense.
- Alba enters the final with recent success in do-or-die games after winning earlier Game 5s in the playoffs, while Bayern must fix a late-game collapse and regain offensive rhythm.
- The title will be decided on Bayern's home court and the match could turn on momentum and psychology as much as tactics, with Alba's cohesion offering them a clear intangible edge.
