Bayern Munich regains home-court advantage in Bundesliga finals, one win from title

Bayern Munich seized home-court advantage in the German Bundesliga finals, securing a crucial 91-83 victory over Alba Berlin in Game 3. The win, achieved on Alba's home court at the Uber Arena, puts Bayern one triumph away from their third consecutive league title.

Alba Berlin, the reigning champions, had the opportunity to clinch the championship with a win, especially after their previous home victory. However, Bayern's resilience shone through in a tightly contested match that remained undecided until the final minutes. Despite Alba's efforts to rally after halftime, trailing by only one point entering the final quarter, they faltered due to poor free-throw (58%) and three-point (25%) shooting.

Nenad Dimitrijevic was the standout player for Bayern, contributing 19 points and seven assists, closely followed by Vladimir Lucic, who added 15 points and 7 rebounds. The momentum now shifts to Game 4, also to be played in Berlin on Friday. A Bayern victory would seal the championship, while an Alba win would force a decisive Game 5 back in Munich, where Bayern's superior regular-season standing would give them an advantage.
