Bayern Munich came back from a 17-point deficit and defeated Buducnost at home (93-88) to maintain a play-off push.

The visitors led by as many as 17 points in the game (21-38) and were in front by 11 at halftime (38-49). The hosts trailed by 16 early in the third quarter (39-55), but managed to turn things around.

Derrick Williams led the winners with 21 points (8/13 shooting, 4/6 from beyond the arc), as four more players scored in double figures.
