The injury-related loss of national player Toni Blazan (shoulder) is difficult for the OCS Swans Gmunden to cope with. This became clear in the Basketball Cup round of 16. The defending champion and record cup winner from Traunsee will have to wait longer for their eighth trophy in this competition. After a strong second half of the game, the Kapfenberg Bulls clearly prevailed with 93:75 (31:32). 27 points from Swans captain Daniel Friedrich didn’t change that.
The Raiffeisen Flyers Wels put on a better dress rehearsal for the Superliga derby on Wednesday (5:30 p.m.) in the Salzkammergut, winning clearly 88:63 (44:37) at the Vienna Timberwolves in the absence of Arvydas Gydra. Radii Caisin scored 18 points.
“We defended very concentratedly for 40 minutes,” said Wels coach Sebastian Waser, who had repeatedly had to represent injured or sick players in recent weeks.
