Former Hapoel Jerusalem center Austin Wiley delivered a career-best performance to lead Bayern Munich to a dramatic 99-95 EuroLeague victory over ASVEL Villeurbanne on Thursday. This win is a crucial step for the German club, which has struggled at the start of the season. Wiley, in his debut EuroLeague season, had previously scored in double digits only once in nine games. However, he exploded for 22 points on 8-of-9 two-point shooting, along with 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, achieving a game rating of 32. "We have to keep going like this," Wiley stated after the game. "We needed this win. Last week's loss was embarrassing for us, for the fans, for everyone. So we wanted to play hard and get this win."
German media lauded Wiley's performance, describing him as "completely dominant in the paint" and noting he "destroyed the rim with several powerful dunks." The victory halts a recent slump for Bayern Munich, following a particularly "embarrassing" 103-73 home defeat to Crvena Zvezda the previous week. Wiley's standout performance significantly boosted his season averages to 7.7 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and a 9.8 player index rating per game.
