Regular Season Round 27: Crailsheim - ALBA 69-105
Date: April 6, 2019
15th ranked Crailsheim Merlins (7-19) were outscored at home by fourth ranked ALBA Berlin (19-5) with the biggest margin this round 105-69 on Saturday night. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Crailsheim Merlins. ALBA Berlin dominated down low during the game scoring 68 of its points in the paint compared to Crailsheim Merlins' 30. They outrebounded Crailsheim Merlins 43-19 including a 31-10 advantage in defensive rebounds. ALBA Berlin looked well-organized offensively handing out 28 assists comparing to just 15 passes made by Crailsheim Merlins' players. Worth to mention a quality performance of international Tim Schneider (208-97) who helped to win the game recording 15 points and 6 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). American center Dennis Clifford (213-92, college: Boston Coll.) helped adding 12 points and 9 rebounds. The best for the losing side was American guard Dewayne Russell (180-94, college: GCU) with 16 points and the other American import point guard Frank Turner (178-88, college: Canisius, agency: Inception Sports) scored 11 points. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. ALBA Berlin have a solid series of four victories in a row. They maintain fourth place with 19-5 record. Newly promoted Crailsheim Merlins keep the fifteenth position with 19 games lost. ALBA Berlin will face higher ranked SC Rasta Vechta (#3) at home in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Crailsheim Merlins will play against Brose Baskets (#5) in Bamberg and hope to win that game.
