Bonn before a decisive home game: victory against Heidelberg mandatory!

In the current season of the basketball Bundesliga, the Telekom Baskets Bonn are strongly challenged. The association has a negative record in the home venue, the Telekom Dome, with only six wins and seven defeats. This Situation means that Bonn stays worse in the 13th place in Easycredit BBl, and only two teams, Frankfurt and Göttingen. The risk of missing the play-offs is omnipresent, especially before the upcoming crucial home game against the MLP Academics Heidelberg. Coach Marko Stankovic emphasized how important it is to win this victory to maintain hope for the play-offs. Despite the striking support of the fans, who are often in the hall with over 6000 spectators, the home weakness remains unclear.

Another reason for concern is the defensive weakness of the team, which shows itself in a rating of 110.8, which currently means 12th place out of 17 in the league. The loss of crucial players such as Chris Sengfelder, Harald Frey and Benedikt Turudic after last season obviously left traces. Nevertheless, players like Darius McGhee and Phlandrous Fleming are of crucial importance for the upcoming important game against Heidelberg.
