Alba Berlin’s Narrow Escape
In arguably one of the most thrilling outings this past week, Alba Berlin dodged a scare in the BBL-Pokal, narrowly defeating Merlins Crailsheim 75-74. After a first half characterized by a lack of respect for their opponents, Alba had to depend on a stroke of luck when Crailsheim’s Tyreese Blunt missed three crucial free throws in the dying seconds of the match.
“We can thank him for that,” noted Alba’s center, Trevion Williams, reflecting on their unexpected reliance on their opponent’s misstep.
Despite this close-call, Alba’s management is focused on finding positives amidst the tension. With the Euroleague match against Asvel Villeurbanne looming, the team knows they must harness the energy from their close victory as leverage.
