Alba Berlin Continues Winning Streak with Thrilling Overtime Victory

The women’s basketball team of Alba Berlin displayed their resilience on Saturday night as they triumphed over the Wings Leverkusen with a score of 64-62 in a nail-biting overtime match at the Sömmeringhalle. This victory marks their third straight win this season, keeping them firmly unbeaten in the Basketball-Bundesliga.

The intensity of the match kept fans on the edge of their seats.

Deeshyra Thomas emerged as the star of the night, leading ALBA’s offense with 14 points, closely followed by Marie Bertholdt, who added 10 points to the scoreboard. Despite facing a challenging game, where long-range shots were hard to come by, Thomas stepped up at the crucial moments of the match.

With only 1,085 fans in attendance, the team struggled in various phases of the game, especially defensively, allowing Leverkusen to capitalize on easy baskets. However, in the closing moments, Thomas showcased her leadership, executing several key plays that not only tied the game but also secured their victory during overtime.

“It wasn’t our best game. We’ve been dealing with various health issues recently, and you could see that on the court tonight. However, our experience came through at the end, which is crucial for a win,” reflected forward Leoni Kreyenfeld post-game.

Some wins, though hard-fought, showcase the true spirit of a team.

As Alba Berlin prepares for their next challenge, they will host Elitzur Ramla, a prestigious Israeli team, in their second Eurocup game this Wednesday at 19:00. Following that, they will head out to face Hannover in another Bundesliga matchup on October 20th at 16:00.

This consistency in win-loss records positioning Alba Berlin as a serious contender in both national and international arenas is something to keep an eye on as the season rolls on.
