Bayern produces defensive masterclass to force Game 5 vs Barcelona

Bayern put on a record-matching masterpiece to stifle Barca 59-52 and send the series back to Spain for a do-or-die Game 5 next Tuesday. Bayern’s defense held the visitors to their joint-lowest point total in 568 EuroLeague games this century to even the series at 2-2. Nick Weiler-Babb led the winners with 12 points, but otherwise it was a complete ensemble effort for Bayern, especially on defense. Only Alex Abrines was able to break into double figures for Barca with 12 points.
