When Andreas Obst is hot, then Bayern Munich is unstoppable, and that was the story in the 97-88 win over Crvena Zvezda Meridienbet.
The German sharp shooter had 31 points, making nine out of 16 threes, and everything else was simple after that.
Obst’s performance turned things around in the game, as the guests had a 55-50 halftime lead, but couldn’t keep up the same scoring performance in the second half.
“Ιn the second half, we started defensively better”, he said after the game, “they didn’t have as easy baskets as in the first one, 55 points are too much, and it’s easier to play offense when you get stops”.
Jordan Nwora, with 27 points, tried his best; however, it was simply not enough. To be exact, Bayern got a 77-68 lead with two minutes left in the third period and never looked back after that.
Oscar Da Silva added 12 points and four rebounds for the winners, while Isiaha Mike had 11 and Vladimir Lucic scored 10.
For Zvezda, Codi Miller-McIntyre, with 18 points, also had a good game, which was not enough for the injury-riddled team of Belgrade, which had essentially eight players ready for the game, announcing a transfer almost at tip-off.
Bayern now has a 1-1 record, while Zvezda dropped to 0-2 after losing at home to Milan as well.
