Alba Berlin's Winning Streak Ends with Defensive Struggles in Oldenburg

The basketball team faces setbacks as defensive issues resurface and injuries disrupt their roster ahead of Euroleague play.

Alba Berlin's three-game winning streak in the Basketball-Bundesliga ended with a 92-97 loss to EWE Baskets Oldenburg, dropping the team to 14th place in the standings.
Defensive lapses and a poor three-point shooting performance were key factors in the loss, despite strong individual efforts from David McCormack (21 points) and Malte Delow (13 points).
Injuries continue to challenge Alba Berlin, with key players like Matt Thomas (ankle) and Gabriele Procida (back) unavailable for the game.
Alba struggled to maintain momentum, losing a lead in the final quarter after a strong third-quarter performance that saw them go up by eight points.
The team now prepares to face Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Euroleague, with uncertainty surrounding the return of injured players.
