Fourth EuroLeague victory in a row for Bayern basketball players

Bayern initially had to earn their points, but made few mistakes. Defensively, they couldn’t stop Monaco’s star player Mike James (30 points). After the first quarter, Munich had a 24:23 lead. The hosts started the second half a little unfocused, but stabilized again, ended the first half with two threes and were ahead 48:39 at the break.

Bayern find their rhythm with threes

After the break, Bayern found their rhythm from outside and hit five three-pointers in the third quarter, but the guests were also successful from distance more often. Before the final period, Munich maintained a 68:63 lead. In the fourth quarter, Bayern’s defense stood strong and five and a half minutes before the end of the game, the hosts extended their lead into double figures for the first time thanks to Isiaha Mike. 54 seconds before the end, world and European champion Andreas Obst made the decision with his fifth three-pointer.

Obst was once again Munich’s best point collector with 19 points, and as a team Bayern sank 15 long-range shots. At Monaco, German basketball national player Daniel Theis only scored two points, but was important defensively with six rebounds and three blocks. With Monaco, Theis suffered their fifth defeat in a row in the EuroLeague.
