ProB Round 4 (Regular Season): Reutlingen takes over a leadership position

There were just four rounds played in Regular Season of ProB and we can clearly see which teams will fight for top positions and which will try to avoid bottom places. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The game had a very big importance for third-ranked Reutlingen as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Reutlingen smashed their biggest opponent Fellbach at home 92-70. Reutlingen dominated down low during the game scoring 52 of its points in the paint compared to Fellbach's 32. Reutlingen forced 22 Fellbach turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists comparing to just 10 passes made by Fellbach's players. Worth to mention a great performance of guard Roy Krupnikas (186-2006) who helped to win the game recording 20 points and 6 assists. American forward Miles Mallory (196-2001, college: RMC) contributed with 12 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. point guard Jonathan Zeisberger (185-2006) replied with 22 points and 4 assists for Fellbach. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Reutlingen have a solid four-game winning streak. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with Iserlohn. Fellbach at the other side dropped to the sixth place with two games lost. They share the position with Rhoendorf and Dresden. Fellbach will play next round against CATL Loewen trying to get back on the winning streak. Reutlingen will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
Undefeated SSV Lok Bernau (3-1) recorded its first loss at the home court. Hosts were defeated by fifth ranked Muenster (3-1) 82-74. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of SSV Lok Bernau. It was a key game for the second position in the league. Worth to mention a great performance of center Adam Touray (206-1994) who helped to win the game recording 25 points and 7 rebounds and Emmanuel Bandoumel who added 20 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side American guard Shawn Scott (187-1996, college: SW Christian) responded with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Muenster moved-up to second place, which they share with 5 other teams including defeated Bernau. Muenster will play against Rist Wedel (#7) at home in the next round where they are favorite.

A very close game took place in Itzehoe between Kangaroos and Eagles. Top-ranked Kangaroos (4-0) got a very close victory on the road over 10th ranked Eagles (1-3).
