ALBA Berlin has reached the finals of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), achieving their seasonal goal. After an impressive 97-66 victory in the decisive game of the best-of-five series against the Bamberg Baskets, the team celebrated with their fans as if they had already won the title.

"Reaching the finals against Bayern is a significant achievement," Ojeda remarked. Despite a rocky start to the season, ALBA's newly assembled team has found its footing and developed. Ojeda noted that the players have shown character and built a special bond. With their entry into the finals, the pressure is off ALBA. Mattisseck explained that they can now "play freely with confidence and without pressure." The Berliners have demonstrated their ability to push their limits and are ready to give everything on the court.
