Alba Berlin defeats Niners Chemnitz in Bundesliga season opener
Alba Berlin secured an 89:82 home victory against Niners Chemnitz in their Basketball Bundesliga season opener. Despite a highly competitive match in front of over 9,000 spectators at the Uber Arena, the defending champions managed to pull away late in the game.
Chemnitz remained competitive throughout much of the contest, leading at various points and maintaining a close score until the final quarter. However, a decisive 13:0 run by Alba Berlin late in the third quarter allowed the home team to establish a double-digit lead that they maintained until the end.
Alba Berlin captain Jonas Mattisseck expressed pride in the team's ability to fight through the match, though sports director Himar Ojeda noted that the team still needs time to find its rhythm and integrate four new signings. Key performers for Berlin included Jordan Ford, Jack Kayil, and Justin Bean, while Stefan Smith led Chemnitz with 19 points.
