Strong Form Ahead of the Duels with Bonn

Würzburg Baskets with Momentum: Three Wins in a Row – Now Bonn Awaits

The Fitness First Würzburg Baskets go into the upcoming duels with Telekom Baskets Bonn with a clearly positive trend. After 34 games in the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga 2025/2026, Würzburg stands at 40 points in fifth place – and comes to Bonn riding a streak of three consecutive wins.

Three Wins, Three Different Accents

The recent results underline that Würzburg is currently not dependent on a single offensive option. In the 75:58 against MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg, David Muenkat was the top scorer, in the 90:73 at Veolia Towers Hamburg, Marcus Carr led the scoring. This was followed by a 98:84 against ratiopharm ulm, in which Davion Mintz scored the most points for Würzburg.

Even in a broader context, the form appears stable: The Baskets have won six of their last ten games. The current streak fits into a phase in which Würzburg is consistently scoring and more often pulling close games to their side.

Why the Season Stats Match the Table Position

The record after 34 games is 20 wins and 14 losses, which corresponds to a win rate of 58.8 percent. Notable is the distribution: twelve home wins and eight away wins are offset by five home losses and nine away losses. For a team in the top five, this is a typical profile – reliable at home, competitive enough away to establish themselves in the upper field.

The team statistics show the foundation of this consistency: Würzburg averages 81.8 points per game, opponents 80.2. This is not an outlier offensively, but it indicates that Würzburg uses its possessions somewhat more efficiently overall. In addition, there are 17 assists per game (opponents: 16.3) – a value that speaks for functioning ball movement: When a team regularly gets shots directly from passes, dependence on difficult individual shots decreases.

The field goal percentage also supports this picture: 45.6 percent for Würzburg compared to 44.2 percent for opponents. In a league where many games are decided by a few possessions, even this small efficiency advantage can make the difference. A weak point, on the other hand, remains rebounding: With 35.1 rebounds per game, Würzburg is just below the opponent average (35.9). In games against physical teams, this can mean that second chances and additional possessions need to be controlled more closely.

Overall, Würzburg has scored 2780 points this season, 1444 of them at home – another indication that their own arena acts as a stabilizing factor, while away games require structure and discipline above all.

Three Scheduled Games Against Bonn – Start on May 16

Bonn is scheduled as the next opponent: The first game is set for May 16, 2026 in Bonn. In addition, two more encounters against Bonn are listed – on May 18 again away and on May 22 in Würzburg. The broadcast is planned on DYN each time.

  • May 16, 2026 – in Bonn (Broadcast: DYN)
  • May 18, 2026 – in Bonn (Broadcast: DYN)
  • May 22, 2026 – in Würzburg (Broadcast: DYN)

For head coach Saša Filipovski's team, this series comes at a time when several key players are taking responsibility and the distribution of roles appears clear. Würzburg can currently respond to different scoring profiles – an advantage when opponents make targeted defensive adjustments. Filipovski himself is planned long-term in Würzburg; the club has extended his contract until 2027.

Squad Structure: Depth and Variability

The squad this season includes 20 players, with an average age of 25 years. The team has the following structure:

  • Position distribution: 8 forwards, 9 guards, 3 centers
  • Nationalities: 12 Germans, 8 from Canada, the USA, Bosnia and Herzegovina, or Poland
  • Coaching staff: Saša Filipovski, Dejan Mihevc, and Marcin Wit

Conclusion

All in all, there is much to suggest that Würzburg will travel to Bonn with confidence: The table position is solid, the recent results are convincing – and the season stats point to a team that does not define itself by spectacular outliers, but by repeatable processes and narrow advantages in efficiency and game organization.
