A strong second half and the sublime contribution of Anton Gavel was exactly what Bayern Munich needed in order to defeat Ludwigsburg 87 – 76 and qualify to the semifinals of the German Bundesliga. There it will meet Brose Baskets for a rematch of last season’s finals.
The hosts outscored their opponents 23 – 11 in the third period, something that was proven to be quite decisive for the final outcome. Apart from Gavel who finished the game with 24 points, 5 assists, 2 steals and no turnovers, Alex Renfroe was extremely helpful with his 10 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. For Ludwigsburg, Jon Brockman (23 p. 13 r.) and Royce O’ Neale (20 p.) combined for 43 points.
