The Niners Chemnitz win effortlessly against the Jobstairs Giessen 46ers and move into the quarterfinals of the BBL Cup.

The basketball players of the Niners Chemnitz have entered the quarterfinals of the BBL Cup with aplomb. The Bundesliga club lived up to its role as favorites in the duel against Pro A league team Jobstairs Giessen 46ers and celebrated an effortless 89:64 (49:30) victory.

Kaza Kajami-Keane (24), Kevin Yebo (20), Brendan Baily (14) and Wesley van Beck (11) played a major role in reaching the round of the best eight. The most points for Giessen were scored by Duane Wilson (15) and Stefan Fundic (13). Already on Wednesday are the Chemnitz, which in the next six weeks 13 mandatory games are ahead, in the FIBA Europe Cup in front of a home crowd against KB Peja from Kosovo again challenged.

The hosts did not fall behind once in the Cup match. For six minutes, the outsider from Hesse kept up. Then the Saxons sat down from 14:12 over 21:12 (9th minute) to the break on 19 points and were at 70:50 (30th) for the first time with 20 points in front. Against the aggressive defense of Chemnitz, which won 15 balls, the Giesseners found no effective means. The Hessians allowed themselves a total of 24 ball losses.
