ALBA Berlin exited the Audi Dome with a thrilling 75-76 win over Bayern Munich, which left plenty of smiles on the visiting team's faces. When the dust was settled, Maodo Lo was deservedly named as the player of the game.
The visitors were down by 1 point, 75-74, with just 6 seconds to play, but a terrific play by Lo, who got rid of his defender to drive and provide the assist to Yanni Wetzell for the winning slam, sealed the outcome in the closing moments.
“I think [Nick Weiler-Babb] is our best defender, and he was on him,” revealed Bayern head coach Andrea Trinchieri in the post-game press conference. “I believe Nick didn’t have a clear idea of what [time was left on] the shot clock and he went to him to avoid a three-point shot, and Maodo [Lo] made a great play”.
