Bonn Rout Heidelberg After Clock Failure Delays Mannheim Event Game

A 45-minute scoreboard breakdown prompted a pregame protest from Bonn in a match relocated to Mannheim.

Overview

  • Telekom Baskets Bonn beat MLP Academics Heidelberg 100:67 after opening a 54:19 halftime lead to snap a two-game skid.
  • The start was pushed back more than 45 minutes when the arena clocks failed, forcing a small desk display and an audible shotclock count before mobile units were set up.
  • Bonn filed a provisional protest before tip-off, which sporting director Savo Milovic confirmed on the DYN broadcast at halftime.
  • Joel Aminu hit seven three-pointers and scored 21 points, while Michael Kessens posted 18 points and 11 rebounds; Jeff Garrett Jr. added 18.
  • The result lifted Bonn to seventh and back in playoff range, with their next game at Science City Jena on Monday as Heidelberg hosts Skyliners Frankfurt on Tuesday.
