Basketball Löwen Braunschweig celebrate impressive first victory!

October 26, 2025 will go down in the history books as a happy date in Braunschweig. The Basketball Lions have finally celebrated their first win of this Bundesliga season. In the duel against Rostock, the hosts clearly prevailed and proved that they have a real say not only in defense but also in offense.

The game started brilliantly for the Basketball Lions, who laid the foundation for their success with an impressive 14-0 run in the first quarter. Ferdinand Zylka was a real bright spot and scored eight points in a row in the first period alone, which contributed to the comfortable lead. With a hit rate of around 60% on distance throws, the Braunschweig team showed that they had the necessary knack to hit the basket and threw the Rostock defense off its stride several times.

Bet and turn

Braunschweig was already clearly leading at half-time, but Rostock seemed to be coming back again. An even score of 33:33 a few minutes before the break made the fans believe that the guests could make a comeback. But the home team responded with an impressive 36:10 run that brought about the final decision. Joshua Obiesie, who was the game's best scorer with 20 points, contributed significantly to this run and thus impressively demonstrated his quality.

The high number of ball losses by Rostock - an impressive 18 compared to just eight for Braunschweig - shows how dominant the hosts were, especially in the second half. Ultimately, the game ended with a clear 69:53 for Braunschweig, which put a big smile on the faces of the fans in the hall.

A cloudy day for Rostock

For Rostock, however, this afternoon was marked by disappointments. After the previous exit from the cup, this is the second blow in the office within a short period of time. The pressure is growing because the season has only just begun. The team has to lick its wounds and attack again in the coming games.

In contrast, the Lions can look forward to their first success of the season, which will boost their self-confidence. After all, the demands in the Basketball Bundesliga are high and every victory counts. With this performance behind them, it will be exciting to see how they carry the momentum into the next games.

Basketball has a long tradition in Germany and the Lions are one of the teams that not only wants to entertain the audience, but also offer challenging sport. It remains to be seen how the seasons will develop for Braunschweig and their opponents. The Basketball Bundesliga remains an exciting arena that promises lots of surprises.
