In a thrilling match, Bayern Munich's basketball team experienced a dramatic loss in the semifinals of the German Cup, succumbing to the Bamberg Baskets with a final score of 97-103 after overtime. The Bavarian team, coached by Svetislav Pesic, entered the final minute trailing by six points, but managed to equalize and force an overtime period. However, in the additional time, Bamberg capitalized on their momentum and secured the win with crucial three-pointers.

The outcome marks yet another disappointment for Bayern Munich, as they were keen to redeem themselves after their surprising semifinal loss the previous year to eventual champions Syntainics MBC. Despite being the reigning champions, Bayern showed inconsistent performance, particularly until the final minutes of regulation time. The standout player for Bayern was Nenad Dimitrijevic, who scored 24 points, yet it was not enough to overcome the team's struggles throughout the game.

Bamberg's performance, highlighted by key players Ibi Watson-Boye and Cobe Williams, each scoring 24 and 22 points respectively, demonstrates their ability to compete at high-stakes moments. This victory allows Bamberg to advance further in the tournament, leaving Bayern with continued disappointment as they seek their sixth cup victory in the club's history, now further delayed following this latest loss.
