In Game 2 of the easycredit BBL finals, Telekom Baskets Bonn had dominated Ratiopharm Ulm, tying the series. However, in Game 3, led by Karim Jallow’s 24 points, Ulm secured a victory with a score of 112-84, taking a 2-1 lead in the series and positioning themselves on the brink of the title.
Although Bonn’s previous 104-75 win seemed unbeatable, Ulm proved otherwise. Alongside Jallow’s contribution, Brandon Paul added 23 points, Bruno Caboclo scored 20, and Yago dos Santos flirted with a triple-double, accumulating 14 points, eight assists, and seven rebounds. Additionally, Josh Hawley achieved a double-double with 13 points and ten boards.
Tyson Ward was the main contributor for Bonn, scoring 21 points and narrowly missing a double-double with rebounds. Collin Malcolm and T.J. Shorts added 11 points each, while Sebastian Herrera finished with 10.
Gavel’s team displayed an impressive offensive performance, converting 18 three-pointers out of 40 attempts and shooting 24-28 from the free-throw line. They also outperformed their opponent in assists, with a total of 28, nine more than Bonn.
The potentially decisive game of the series is scheduled for June 16 at 20:30 CET on Ulm’s home court.
