Match Preview
Bayern Munich begin their German Bundesliga semifinal series against Bonn looking to continue their dominant domestic campaign. The Bavarians cruised through the quarterfinals with ease, while Bonn needed all five games and several dramatic moments to secure their place in the final four.
Bayern Dominant on Home Court
Bayern Munich have looked like the strongest team in Germany throughout the entire season, finishing top of the Bundesliga regular-season standings with an impressive 29-5 record.
Svetislav Pesic’s side were especially dominant at home, winning 16 of their 17 league appearances in Munich and consistently controlling games with elite defensive discipline.
The Bavarians had no problems in the quarterfinals, sweeping Trier 3-0. They were particularly convincing in Game 3 on the road, cruising to a 99-62 victory after dominating from start to finish. Oscar Da Silva led the offense with 20 points and five rebounds.
Bonn Survived a Tough Quarterfinal Battle
Unlike Bayern, Bonn were pushed to the limit in the quarterfinals and eventually eliminated Wurzburg 3-2 after a highly competitive series.
The decisive Game 5 was played in front of their home crowd where Bonn struggled badly offensively in the first half, scoring just 22 points before recovering after the break to secure a dramatic 66-63 victory. Michael Kessens delivered a huge performance with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
Bonn closed the regular season in 4th place with a 21-13 record. Their final matchup ended in a heavy 102-83 defeat against Bamberg, although that result had no impact on their playoff position.
Verdict
Bayern’s defense has been their biggest weapon throughout the season and they own the best defensive numbers in the Bundesliga by far. Bonn also tightened things up defensively during the quarterfinal series against Wurzburg, so another slower-paced contest is expected here. Under 165.5 points looks like the best bet.
