Overview
- Playing at a near-full Inselpark Arena, Bamberg routed Hamburg 101–71 in front of 3,069 spectators.
- The loss was Hamburg’s fifth straight in the league, and the club remains bottom as the only BBL team without a win.
- Bamberg surged to a 12–2 start with three early three-pointers before a Niklas Wimberg triple trimmed the deficit to 35–36 late in the first half.
- Defensive gaps and miscues after the break ballooned the margin to 71–46 in the third quarter, effectively settling the contest.
- Head coach Benka Barloschky framed the slump as a mental struggle as shooting, rebounding and turnover issues persisted, and guard Leonard Thorpe left early with a left leg problem.
