Bayern trailed by double digits for most of the game on their home court. Despite solid three-point shooting, the Munich team struggled to score inside the arc. Ludwigsburg took advantage of this and maintained a comfortable lead throughout, going up by as much as 15 points with five minutes remaining.

However, the visitors’ offense completely collapsed at that point. A win would have put Ludwigsburg in the top 10 and given them a chance to reach the playoffs through the play-in tournament. But that opportunity slipped away as Bayern went on a 14–0 run to cut the deficit to one point. Then, with 10 seconds left, hit a game-winning three-pointer.
