Albas Matt Thomas shines with a career best in victory against Bonn

with victory against Bonn: Alba did not do that throughout the season | Sportmix

In the latest game, Alba Berlin was able to win an important victory against the Telekom Baskets Bonn. This result is a remarkable moment in the season so far, since the team was previously unable to achieve a positive balance. With this success, the Berliners are now in 14 games, including 13 defeats, and have therefore achieved a positive overall balance for the first time this season.

The game, which is considered a classic, was called the "mother of all games" by the fans, but the number of spectators was disappointing compared to the earlier encounters, with only 7,600 visitors in the Berlin Uber Arena. This reflects the current challenges, with Alba in the 11th place in the table and Bonn two places behind. Despite these circumstances, Alba showed a determined performance from the start.

Matt Thomas, who acted as an outstanding player in this encounter, scored a total of 34 points, which represents his career best in the Alba jersey. His strong performance, which was characterized by an 8-point boost within 82 seconds in the first quarter, helped the team to go into the first break with a clear lead of 32:18. Alba left no doubts about the exit during the game and always led to a double -digit distance.

In addition to Thomas, Michael Kessens, who had previously played for Bonn, also contributed significantly to victory with 16 points. These facts illustrate the team performance that was necessary to secure the third victory in a row. With the current table situation, Alba is now positioned in the playoff places, and the prospects are optimistic despite the previous season performance. A duel against the seventh, Rostock, could mean 10th place, while in this narrow table there are still 4th place. Braunschweig, currently third, also has eleven defeats, which increases the possibilities for Alba.

Overall, the victory against Bonn is an encouraging sign for Berliners who want to improve their achievements in the rest of the season and to increase in the playoffs. The next step will be decisive to maintain the positive dynamics and to secure the desired placements in the table.
