After sweeping ALBA Berlin in the BBL Quarter-Finals and getting over Wurzburg in the BBL Semi-Finals, ratiopharm Ulm came back into contention in the BBL Finals too, winning Game 2.
Beating Bayern Munich by 15 points (79-64), Ulm extended their chances of going on top of German basketball once again after their success from two years ago.
Karim Jallow was by far the best player on the winning side, as the veteran dropped 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 steals in the victory. Ben Saraf added 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Vladimir Lucic had a 17-point losing effort as Bayern’s captain, but it wasn’t enough. The newest addition to Gordon Herbert’s team, Jack White, had 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Game 3 will now be played in Munich, on June 21 at 20:00 CET.
