Kosner Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz overcame a sluggish start to dominate FC Bayern Munich 95-73 at Buesa Arena on Friday, November 21. The home team trailed by 13 early but stormed back with a decisive second-half performance.
Bayern opened the game strong, with Andreas Obst scoring eight consecutive points to give the visitors a 23-10 lead. By the end of the first quarter, Bayern maintained a 26-14 advantage.
Baskonia allowed only 50 points after the first quarter and limited Bayern to six offensive rebounds.
Offensively, Baskonia spread the scoring across eight players with seven or more points. Tadas Sedekerskis contributed 11 points and seven rebounds in 20:26, while Markquis Nowell added 12 points and a career-high eight assists in 19:44.
Baskonia’s balanced effort was complemented by efficient shooting, hitting 76.7% from two-point range and 41.4% from beyond the arc. Bayern struggled, shooting just 50% on twos and 27.6% from three. Despite only three offensive rebounds, the hosts dominated on defense and fast-break opportunities.
Bayern’s top performers were Obst (14 points), Justinian Jessup (13), Vladimir Lucic (11) and Spencer Dinwiddie (11), but those contributions came mainly in the opening period.
This victory marked Baskonia’s fourth consecutive home win, though the team remains 0-5 on the road. The squad will look to extend its success on the road against Zalgiris Kaunas on Tuesday, while Bayern will face Valencia in their next EuroLeague matchup.
