2.BBL: Pure Drama! Coburg Defeats Frankfurt After Overtime

Coburg, 10-20-2024

Just a week after the thriller in Munich, BBC Coburg once again delivered a nail-biting performance against the SKYLINERS Juniors in front of their home crowd. The Vestestädter defeated the Hessians in a nerve-wracking game that lasted over 45 minutes with a score of 85:81 (43:40) after overtime. This not only marked their third victory in the fourth game of the season but also kept them in the top group of the ProB South.

After an evenly matched first 10 minutes, BBC started the second quarter with a 10-0 run, temporarily gaining some breathing room against Frankfurt. However, the guests countered and reduced Coburg’s lead to three points by halftime (43:40). The game remained tight after the halftime break, with the lead changing hands multiple times. Neither team managed to pull away, leading to a tense finish. With 45 seconds left, BBC forward Tim Herzog, who delivered his best game in a Coburg jersey with 19 points, made two free throws to tie the game at 77:77. Zach Hinton missed the potential game-winning shot at the buzzer, sending the game into overtime. Both teams showed signs of nervousness in overtime, resulting in many missed shots. However, Coburg ultimately displayed stronger nerves. With one minute left, Marlon Stephan made a successful layup to put Coburg ahead 84:79. Frankfurt missed crucial free throws, and Nico Höllerl secured BBC’s first home win of the season with nine seconds remaining.

Next up for BBC Coburg is a top match against the Leitershofen Kangaroos. The game will take place next Saturday (26.10.) at 19:30.
