Ulm Team News
In the first match of this series, Ulm taught the Alba team a real basketball lesson. They destroyed them with their weapons, transition, and three-point shooting. Ulm stole as many as 14 balls, and from those stolen balls Ulm scored easy points in transition, which decided the match. The first half was fairly even, where Ulm was led by Yago Dos Santos who kept Ulm in the game when Alba tried to make a bigger difference, but in the second half, Brandon Paul appeared who spent a lot of time on the bench due to personal mistakes. In the second half, he hit 4 three-pointers, while young Nunez added 8 assists and brought security to the transfer and organization of the game.
Gavel outwitted Gonzales in the first match and prepared his team brilliantly for the duel with Alba. However, the biggest problem for Ulm throughout the season is inconsistency and rather poor defense. Will they be able to repeat the good performance from Berlin and get a favorable result in front of their fans?
Alba Berlin Team News
Alba doesn’t have much time to grieve, because they have a match in front of them in which they can return the break and improve the impression from the first match. Alba played quite well in the first half, and then in the second half they simply disappeared from the field. The team that plays in the fastest in Europe, and which is the most efficient team in the first five seconds of the attack, scored only 20 points in the second half. In the end, there was a +24 difference with Ulm. First of all, Alba has to reduce the number of lost balls, and not to allow Ulm players easy points.
Thiemann made the difference in the first half and scored 11 points, while Lo and Smith added 10 and 9 points respectively. The team’s best player, Luke Sikma, failed, having only 2 points and 5 turnovers. Alba will have to strengthen their defense and rebounding, and slow down the Ulm players, who are playing with great confidence.

Ulm vs Alba Berlin Prediction
Ulm showed once again how unpleasant the team is, so it will be very difficult for Alba’s players to break and tie the series. Momentum is on Ulm’s side, and we believe they will take advantage of that.
