Bamberg Baskets in Top Form: Four Wins in a Row, Third Place – and the Statistics Behind It

The BMA365 Bamberg Baskets are heading into the final phase of the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga 2025/26 with momentum. After 31 games, head coach Anton Gavel's team sits in third place with 42 points. What is decisive is not just the ranking, but the stability with which Bamberg has been scoring for weeks: four consecutive wins, nine victories from the last ten games.

The Streak: Clear Trend, Clear Results

The run is not just a series of results, but in part also a statement about game control. Particularly striking: the three most recent wins were by a wide margin.

• April 27: Away at NINERS Chemnitz with 89:62. Top scorer of the game was Kevin Yebo for Chemnitz – an indication that Bamberg secured the win less through a single offensive explosion, but rather through team superiority and defensive limitation of the opponent.
• April 18: In the Brose Arena against EWE Baskets Oldenburg with 83:61, top scorer was Cobe Williams.
• April 11: Away at ratiopharm ulm an 89:73, with Ibi Watson as Bamberg's top scorer.

Winning three times by double digits is no coincidence in the BBL: It speaks for a rhythm in which rotation, game plan, and intensity are currently working.

Why Bamberg Wins: Efficiency Beats Board Work

The bare record underlines the third place in the standings: 21 wins and 10 losses, which corresponds to a win rate of 67.7 percent. Remarkable is the distribution: Under Anton Gavel, Bamberg has won 10 home games and 11 away games – a rare balance that works both on the road and at home. The losses are also evenly split with five at home and five away.

The core of the current strength lies in the team values on offense and in shooting quality:

• On average 89.3 points per game, opponents score 82
• Shooting efficiency: 47.8% from the field vs. 42.7% for opponents
• 18.3 assists per game
• Rebounding: 35.3 rebounds per game vs. 39.5 for opponents

One statistical area falls short: In rebounding, Bamberg lags behind opponents when it comes to second chances and board control. The fact that Bamberg still wins so consistently shows that the team compensates for the rebound deficit with finishing quality, pace, and game control.

Consistency Over the Season: Point Production and Squad Profile

Over the course of the season, Bamberg has scored 2,769 points, 1,315 of them in home games. This underlines that the offense works not only in a short phase, but has established itself as a reliable basis throughout the season.

The squad consists of 13 players with an average age of 25.5 years. Among them are five guards, five forwards, and three centers – a classic structure that helps in the hot phase of the season when varying matchups and under high load. The coaching staff includes, in addition to Gavel, Arne Woltmann and Stefan Weissenböck.

The Next Games: Three Dates, Clear Positioning

• May 3: Home game against Veolia Towers Hamburg (live on DYN)
• May 8: Away game at SYNTAINICS MBC (live on DYN)
• May 10: Home game against Telekom Baskets Bonn (live on DYN)

With four wins in a row and nine victories from ten games, Bamberg starts this week from a stable position. The numbers show a team that is currently winning above all through efficiency and offensive quality – and that also knows where the next step in development can be: fewer second chances for the opponent, more control on the boards.
