Overview
- EWE Baskets Oldenburg beat VET-Concept Gladiators Trier 108–85 in Oldenburg to open Round 5 of the Easycredit BBL season.
- Chris Clemons finished with 52 points, scoring 25 by halftime with 18 in the second quarter and hitting a long buzzer-beater to end the third.
- The total ranks among the highest single-game outputs in BBL history, with only six players ever scoring more and Keith Gray’s 65 in 1988 still the record.
- Trier’s first defeat ends a 4–0 start that was one win shy of a unique 5–0 opening for a promoted team since the league returned to a single division in 1995/96.
- A sold-out Große EWE-Arena recorded a 50th straight capacity crowd as Dyn commentator Arne Malsch praised the performance and fans gave Clemons a standing ovation before his late substitution.
