A pair of direct rivals aiming to return to winning ways meet in Munich as Bayern (16-11) hosts Zvezda (16-11).
Game Notes: Bayern vs. Zvezda

The home team will rely on its explosive offense, which saw Carsen Edwards net 29 points and Andreas Obst drain 5 triples in last week’s loss at Paris. But that defeat again exposed Bayern’s defensive frailties, and Zvezda – which lost at home to Zalgiris last week – will look to exploit that through the consistency of Filip Petrusev. The forward has scored at least 12 points in six of the last seven games and tortured Bayern to the tune of 25 points when Zvezda thrashed the German team 101-77 in Round 12. Two versatile guards will meet for a major matchup in the backcourt as Nick Weiler-Babb attempts to overcome Codi Miller-McIntyre.
