Alba Berlin's Valiant Effort Falls Short Against Baskonia
Alba Berlin faced their second loss of the Euroleague season despite a determined comeback bid. The German basketball team narrowly lost at home to the Spanish powerhouse Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz, with a final score of 86-91 (47:51) in front of a 7,700-strong crowd. This result places Alba at the lower end of the league table. Tim Schneider led the scoring for Berlin with 17 points, closely followed by Johannes Thiemann with 13.
Coach Israel Gonzalez had to contend with the absence of his regular centers, Yanni Wetzell and Khalifa Koumadje, in the paint, necessitating experimental adjustments. World champion Thiemann and the returning Schneider stepped up to fill the void. While Alba briefly took an early 2-0 lead, they spent most of the game playing catch-up.
The newly formed team displayed some coordination challenges, but Alba displayed unwavering determination and refused to be shaken off. They even briefly reclaimed the lead at 45:43, two and a half minutes before halftime.
However, as in their previous losses to Ulm and FC Bayern Munich, Alba lost their momentum in the second half. They struggled to execute their fast-paced style of play, allowing Baskonia to surge ahead 76:61 at the end of the third quarter. Despite a late surge that brought them within two points (83:85) with just under three minutes remaining, Alba fell short of completing the comeback.
