The German champs had six players in double digits, with Marcus Eriksson leading the pack. The Swede poured 16 on 5/7 from the field, but it was Oscar Sa Silva who stole the show with a double-double (15 points, 10 rebounds).

Christ Koumadje, who was down with the flu, returned to action and offered some of his highlight dunks.

The team coached by Israel Gonzalez will have some time to rest, as their EuroLeague Round 18 game against AX Armani Exchange Milan was suspended.

Bayreuth were unable to keep up with their opponents, as ALBA found some open looks and dished out 28 assists overall.
