The Saxons celebrate their 13th win of the season in Würzburg. A strong three-point percentage is the key to success.

The Niners Chemnitz basketball team remains in contention to qualify directly for the play-offs. The club from Saxony won its game at bottom-of-the-table Fit/One Würzburg Baskets by 90:83 (40:36) and cemented its fifth place in the German Basketball League with its 13th win of the season. DeAndre Lansdowne, Jacob Gilyard (16 each), Kevin Yebo (12), Olivier Nkamhoua (11) and Nicolas Tischler (10) played the biggest part in the win. Only Davion Mintz (22), Zachary Seljaas (17) and Mike Lewis (16) scored in double figures for the home side.
