Eintracht Braunschweig suffered a shock defeat to Leibnitz 04 in the German Basketball Bundesliga (BBL) on Saturday, as the visitors took all three points from the home court. The match saw a tense and physical contest between two sides that were both looking to make their mark on the league.

In the end, it was Leibnitz who emerged victorious, with a dominant display on the boards and in transition play. The visitors held Eintracht scoreless for much of the first half, before finally finding their rhythm in the second period.

Wirtz scored a crucial goal in the final minutes of the game to give Leibnitz the lead, but it was too little too late for Eintracht. The loss marked a disappointing start to the season for the club, which has struggled to find its form so far this year.

Despite the setback, Eintracht will be hoping to bounce back against fellow strugglers SC Ried on Wednesday night. The team is still in contention for a playoff spot, and every win could potentially turn the tide in their favor.

Overall, the loss at Leibnitz 04 was a significant blow for Eintracht, but they will need to focus on their own performance if they hope to avoid further disappointment. With the league still young, there is plenty of time for them to turn things around, and a strong showing against Ried could go a long way towards achieving that goal.
