Graz was (once again) worth a trip for basketball champion Gmunden. The Swans benefited from a remarkable three-pointer yield (63 percent) in the 89-70 away win that put them second in the Superliga. “If you hit like that, it’s not difficult to win,” said CFO Harald Stelzer after the match in which Carlos Novas Mateo made a great debut with eleven points.
Only the return to the Traunsee turned out to be quite difficult. After the team bus gave up the ghost around midnight at the Voralpenkreuz, the tired winners didn’t get home until around two in the morning. Head coach Anton Mirolybov, who returned to the bench after two cancer operations, had a very short night: the Finn had to go to the hospital for chemotherapy in the early hours.
