Bamberg Baskets in 3rd Place: 9 Wins from the Last 10 Games

The BMA365 Bamberg Baskets are heading into the next phase of the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga (2025/2026 season) with a lot of momentum. After 34 games, the team sits in third place with 48 points – carried by a streak that is currently one of the most notable runs in the league: Bamberg is unbeaten in seven games and has won nine of their last ten matches.

The record under head coach Anton Gavel (24 wins, 10 losses) corresponds to a win rate of 70.6 percent. What stands out is the stability regardless of venue: Bamberg has secured 12 wins both at home and away; in addition, there are 5 home and 5 away losses. This balance is often a decisive factor in the final phase of a regular season, as it means form is not just tied to home streaks but also carries over into tough away games.

Three Wins in a Row Confirm the Form

The most recent results underscore the positive trend. On 10.05.2026, Bamberg won at home against Telekom Baskets Bonn 102:83, previously on 08.05.2026 away at SYNTAINICS MBC 99:82, and on 03.05.2026 in Bamberg against Veolia Towers Hamburg 85:71.

At the top of these three games, it became clear how Bamberg is currently deciding games: with high offensive pressure and clear roles in the final phase. In the 99:82 win in Weißenfels, Austin Crowley was the top scorer, while in the 85:71 against Hamburg, Demarcus Demonia led the Bamberg scoring. Against Bonn, the highest point total of the series was achieved (102) – however, the top scorer of the game was Bonn’s Jalen Finch, a detail that underlines the character of the match: Bamberg didn’t win because the opponent completely collapsed offensively, but because their own team delivered a more controlled, efficient overall performance over 40 minutes.

The Numbers Speak for a Stable Season

Third place in the standings is based on figures that go beyond individual matchdays. Bamberg averages 89.9 points per game, while opponents average 81.7 – a difference that explains why close phases have often tipped in Bamberg’s favor recently. In addition, the team hits 47.9 percent of its field goals, while opponents are at 42.3 percent. This is an indicator of good shot selection and functioning processes – and at the same time a safeguard against "outlier" games, as efficiency tends to be more stable than pure shot volume statistics.

Bamberg also sets accents in ball movement: 18.5 assists per game compared to the opponent’s 16.7. This fits a playing style that currently relies less on individual actions and more on consistent ball movement. One figure that also marks a task is rebounds: Bamberg averages 35.3, opponents 39.7. In practice, this means that Bamberg generates its advantages mainly through structure, finishing quality, and pace – and less through pure physical dominance on the boards. Especially in playoff-like games against teams with size, this can become a test, as second chances and defensive stops then weigh even more heavily.

In total, Bamberg has scored 3055 points this season, 1502 of them at home. The squad consists of 13 players (average age 25.5 years) and is classically balanced: 5 guards, 5 forwards, and 3 centers. Seven players have German nationality, six others come from the Czech Republic or the USA. In addition to Gavel, the coaching staff includes Arne Woltmann and Stefan Weissenböck.

Ulm is the Next Test

The next opponent is ratiopharm ulm – and right away in a short series:

• 16.05.2026: Game in Bamberg
• 18.05.2026: Another home game in Bamberg
• 23.05.2026: Game in Ulm

All three games will be broadcast on DYN.

For Bamberg, this sequence is more than just a calendar detail: three direct duels in quick succession force both teams to adapt quickly – tactically as well as in load management. Bamberg enters with a clearly positive starting position: form, league position, and the consistently stable key figures over weeks speak for a team that currently does not rely on individual exceptional days, but on a reliable structure.

Bamberg has worked out a strong starting position with results and statistics. In the upcoming games against Ulm, it will become clear whether the combination of efficient offense, good passing, and the recent winning streak will hold up even when intensity and matchups increase significantly.
