Hawkins led Bonn with 19 points in this win, Jeremy Morgan added 17 points and 6 rebounds, Michael Kessens tapped 16 points and Parker Jackson-Cartwright finished the game with 15 points.
Bayern’s Deshawn Thomas scored 18 points, Vladimir Lucic and Nihad Djedovic each shared 14 points and Nick Weiler-Babb had 12.
The series travels back to the Audi Dome in Munich on June 6, where Bayern will seek to close the series.
