Aviators Soar Past Bears, 125-90, Behind Petrova's 31-Point Barrage
Aviators Dominate Berlin with Stellar Shooting and Balanced Attack
BERLIN – The Atlanta Aviators delivered a resounding statement on the road, overwhelming the Berlin Bears with a dominant offensive performance to secure a 125-90 victory in February 2026 Season action. Atlanta’s sharpshooting from beyond the arc and a deep offensive output proved too much for the Bears, who struggled to find consistent answers on either end of the court. The win solidifies the Aviators’ position in the standings, highlighting their championship aspirations.
The Aviators established their rhythm early, with a barrage of three-pointers setting the tone. Adrik Petrov was the undisputed catalyst, showcasing his all-around game with a game-high 31 points, complemented by 6 rebounds and 6 assists. He was supported by Olivia White’s impressive 23 points and 8 rebounds, and Ben Carter’s 17 points and 5 assists, which included a crucial early three-pointer that ignited Atlanta’s offense.
While the Bears fought valiantly, led by Zoe Sharma’s 17 points and Anya Lindgren’s 15, they couldn’t match Atlanta’s offensive firepower. Berlin shot a respectable 42.4% from the field but struggled mightily from three-point range, connecting on just 8 of 34 attempts (23.5%). The Aviators, in contrast, were blistering from deep, hitting an outstanding 22 three-pointers on nearly 48% shooting.
“We came in with a game plan to be aggressive offensively and trust our shooters,” said Aviators coach Isabella Rossi after the game. “Tonight, the ball moved beautifully, and our guys knocked down shots. That’s a recipe for success.”
Zoe Sharma, who led the Bears in scoring, acknowledged the challenge. “They were just on fire tonight,” Sharma stated. “We had moments, but we couldn’t sustain the pressure. We need to learn from this and get better.”
The second half saw Atlanta extend their lead, consistently finding open looks and exploiting defensive mismatches. The Aviators’ ball movement was exceptional, evidenced by their 34 assists on 45 made field goals, creating a balanced attack that overwhelmed the Bears’ defense.
