Eisbären Bremerhaven dramatically wins against Tigers Tübingen!

The game was evenly balanced for long stretches. Both teams managed to exploit their strengths in different phases of the game. The Eisbären got off to a solid start, scoring 20 points in the first quarter and narrowly leading 43:37 at halftime. However, an important moment came in the fourth quarter when Jemarl Baker, who finished with 20 points, made a crucial block on Felix Edwardsson. This sent the game into overtime after the Tigers' final attack yielded no points.

In overtime the polar bears really turned up the heat. Baker quickly hit two three-pointers and increased the lead to 86:82. Adrian Breitlauch, who emerged as the top scorer with 28 points, added another point just a few moments later. These strong performances were all the more remarkable because the Eisbären had to contend with injury concerns. Important players like Jordan Samare and Till Isemann were missing, and Hendrik Warner was no longer able to be on the field in the decisive fourth quarter due to five fouls.

The next game is already around the corner: On January 12, 2025, the Eisbären will meet the Dresden Titans in Bremerhaven.

The team, which plays in the impressive Bremerhaven town hall, has a capacity of up to 6,000 spectators and therefore offers space for lots of basketball fans.

In any case, the current performance shows that the Eisbären are a serious opponent in the ProA.
