In a postponed game for Round 18 of the German BBL Brose Bamberg beat medi Bayreuth at home 88-73. It was a comeback win for the hosts as they were trailing in the first half.
Augustine Rubit had a huge night scoring 29 points for the hosts. The big man was simply unstoppable as he had only one miss (10/11 from the field). He was also sent to the foul line six times converting all of his free throws into points.
Nikos Zisis added 16 points plus 4 assists, Dorell Wright 15 points while Daniel Hackett came really close to a triple-double as he posted 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 8 assists.
Medi Bayreuth players caught the fire early on as they were 6 from 13 behind the arc in the first half. That helped them to build 8 points lead after the first half (43-35).
However, in the second half, it was a one-sided affair as Bamberg won that period 53-30 grabbing another win.
Steve Wachalski had 17 points for Bayreuth, but it wasn’t enough.
This was a third straight win for Bamberg that is now tied with Bayreuth as both teams stand on a 17-11 record.
