After winning Game 3 at the edge, ratiopharm Ulm couldn’t get the job done at home and find the second-ever German Championship in the club’s history.
Bayern Munich won 67-53 on the road, forcing Game 5 at home, scheduled in two days.
Shabazz Napier (15 points), Devin Booker (11 points and 5 rebounds), and Andreas Obst (10 points and 6 rebounds) were crucial for Gordon Herbert’s team.
On the losing end, Nelson Weidemann had 13 points in the loss, followed by Tobias Jensen (10 points and 4 rebounds). The 2006-born point guard Ben Saraf had 6 points and 3 rebounds.
Expected to be selected in the upcoming NBA Draft and having received an invite for the Green Room, Noa Essengue didn’t take part in Game 4, leaving Ulm without one of its best options on both ends.
