Overview
- Alba Berlin won Game 2 of the Basketball Bundesliga final in Munich, 86-79, to tie the best-of-five series 1-1.
- The team overcame a halftime deficit to turn the game around and seize momentum away from the reigning champions.
- Alba capitalized on Bayern's slow switch to defence after the break, with Michael Rataj scoring 16 points to lead the comeback.
- Games 3 and 4 move to Alba's home court, where consecutive wins would secure the club's 12th national championship.
- The result deepens the long Berlin–Munich rivalry and puts Bayern coach Svetislav Pesic's bid to win titles in four decades in doubt.
