Bayern Munich open BBL season with 108-72 demolition of Bamberg

FC Bayern Munich defeated Bamberg Baskets 108-72 on September 20, 2026, in the opening matchday of the 2026-2027 EasyCredit BBL regular season. The result was never in question after the first two quarters, with Munich building a commanding lead that Bamberg had no answer for the rest of the way.

Bayern buries Bamberg before the break

The scoreboard told the story from the opening minutes. Bayern outscored Bamberg 30-13 in the first quarter and 25-15 in the second, turning a comfortable lead into a rout by halftime at 55-28. The home team never let up, with both the third and fourth quarters also going its way to close out the 108-72 final. By the time the second half tipped off, the outcome was already settled, allowing Munich to rotate deep into its bench for long stretches.

Nine scorers and a shared load

Munich's reserves set the tone all night. Johannes Voigtmann and Justinian Jessup each scored 15 points off the bench, with starters Miles Norris and Andreas Obst adding 13 apiece, Kamar Baldwin chipping in 12 off the bench, Oscar Da Silva contributing 10, and Austin Wiley finishing with 9. In all, nine different Bayern players reached the scoring column with at least 7 points, and no single player was asked to play more than 21 minutes — a clear sign of how comfortably the game had already been decided.

Bamberg, by contrast, could never find a rhythm. The visitors committed 18 turnovers against 15 assists as a team. Jordan Cameron Wright led all Bamberg scorers with 16 points but was part of the turnover trouble that plagued his team all evening. Trevon Scott added 13 points as a starter, and Joshua Obiesie chipped in 10 off the bench, but neither could slow Bayern's pace once the German club had built its double-digit cushion.

Bayern will look to carry that momentum into matchday 2, with EasyCredit BBL games resuming on September 24, 2026.
