Vladimir Lucic’s first basket on his first appearance since Round 2 had Bayern up 27-29, but the hosts’ surge continued with a Louis Olinde dunk and McDowell-White triple to go 34-29 ahead. Bayern temporarily reclaimed the lead, only to see McDowell-White pick up five more points to make it 39-35. Obst countered with his second triple, and Edwards had seven points and an assist for a 43-47 Bayern cushion. Edwards added another triple and Bayern led 50-52 at the break.
Edwards started the second half with a triple for a five-point lead, 50-55. Malte Delow answered from deep at the other end to tie it at 55-55.

Three more lead changes had Bayern up 68-70 after three quarters.
Niels Giffey’s three-pointer started the final frame and then Edwards remained unstoppable with 8 points including his fifth triple giving Bayern its biggest lead 70-81 with under 8 minutes to go. Obst and Giffey drained back-to-back three-pointers and Bayern was up 72-88 with 5 minutes left. McDowell-White showed ALBA is not dead just yet with two triples to make it 80-88. Weiler-Babb answered with a triple and Obst knocked down his fifth three-pointer as the dagger for an 82-94 advantage with 94 seconds remaining.
