Alba never found his way into the game
The numerous Partizan supporters in the hall almost made the game an away game for Alba. And the Berliners were behind from the start. The Serbs are still fighting for a playoff place and were accordingly committed to their work. Alba hardly found any solutions, especially on the offensive, and lost too many balls.
Already at the beginning of the second quarter the deficit became double digits (17:28). The Berliners had a lot of trouble countering the guests’ very physical style of play. There was hardly anything to get, especially under the basket. The deficit grew further to 16 points in the first half (29:45).
Alba then came out of the dressing room with more momentum and intensity. Now the game was much more balanced. Six and a half minutes before the end, the hosts even reduced the score to four points (69:73). But the Berliners couldn’t get any closer because Partizan always had the right answer.
