Master Bayern Munich (20: 8) stands in front of Ratiopharm Ulm (20: 9) at the top, both teams already have the play-off participation.
Braunschweig, home club of main shareholder and world champion Dennis Schröder, dominated two weeks after the convincing victory in the Lower Saxony endby against relegated BG Göttingen (101: 77). Tre Mitchell (15 points) was top scorer for the lions in the meeting of the surprise teams, Heidelberg ran unsuccessfully after the break from the first quarter (19:29) – after the change of sides, the guests moved away even further. Despite a strong season, both clubs have not yet had the play-off ticket.
The Fit/One Würzburg Baskets beat the Telekom Baskets Bonn 83:75 (44:50) and jumped to fourth place with a 17:12 record. For Bonn (13:16) it should now be difficult to get to the Play-in tournament (places 7 to 10). The direct quarter-finals (1-6) is unrealistic.
