The Niners Chemnitz basketball team has taken another step towards direct qualification for the play-offs. The team from Saxony won 70:65 (35:35) at penultimate-placed Skyliners Frankfurt. With their third win in a row, the charges of Head Coach Rodrigo Pastore cemented their place among the leading quartet in the German Basketball League.
Chemnitz kept its nerve in the decisive spell and produced an 8:2 run to set the course for victory. In addition to their nerves of steel, they primarily benefited from their better shooting percentage from the floor (39:33 percent) and their close air superiority under the boards (45:40 rebounds).
