German basketball: MLP Academics Heidelberg and Talents BonnRhöndorf suffer losses

In German basketball, MLP Academics Heidelberg suffered their first loss of the season, falling 74:85 to SBB Börde Baskets. Despite top scoring efforts from Chuck Harris and Cantia Rahming, the Academics struggled with turnovers and physical play from the visitors. Heidelberg managed to narrow an 18-point deficit to enter halftime with a small lead, but Wolmirstedt's efficiency from the three-point line and superior interior play secured the victory.

In the women's DBBL Cup, Talents BonnRhöndorf narrowly lost to UBC Münster with a score of 77:80. Playing with a very young roster and missing several key starters, the BonnRhöndorf team relied heavily on three-point shooting, connecting 13 times from distance. While the game remained competitive and tied at halftime, Münster utilized a 9:0 run in the final quarter and strong interior presence to clinch the win.
