Key moments

Baden effectively decided the game with a 17-0 run spanning the end of the first quarter and the start of the second. Pully went more than five minutes without a field goal during that stretch, and Baden converted turnovers into easy transition baskets. The run broke Pully’s confidence and established a lead that never came under threat.

Early in the third quarter, Baden delivered another decisive blow with a 12-2 run that pushed the lead to 38. From that point, the only question was the final margin, and Baden maintained their defensive intensity even with rotations.

Tactical story

Baden’s defense was the foundation of the win. They pressed Pully’s ball handlers, denied easy entry passes, and forced a high number of turnovers. When Pully did break the pressure, Baden’s help defense rotated quickly and contested shots at the rim.

On offense, Baden shared the ball well and attacked mismatches inside. Their offensive rebounding created second-chance opportunities, and their perimeter shooting forced Pully to defend the entire half-court. Pully struggled to contain Baden’s dribble penetration and often left shooters open on the weak side.

Standout players

Lena Frei led Baden with 24 points and six assists, controlling the game from the backcourt. Ana-Maria Popescu added 18 points and 10 rebounds, dominating the paint on both ends. For Pully, Camille Bovet scored 16 points, but she was one of the few bright spots on a difficult afternoon.

Standings impact

The win strengthens Baden’s position in the Swiss Basketball League Women standings and serves as a statement about their depth and defensive quality. Pully will need to regroup quickly after a heavy defeat that exposed problems in ball security and rebounding. The head-to-head record now leans heavily toward Baden, and the margin could prove significant if tiebreakers come into play later in the season.
