“You can’t give up a game like that.” Gmunden’s CFO Harald Stelzer was furious about the defeat after his OCS Swans Gmunden lost 72:84 (42:34) in the top Superliga game against Klosterneuburg.
Until 5:50 minutes before the final siren, the Swans were already leading 72:63 against the league leaders after a 16:2 run, but then suddenly nothing worked anymore. Instead, the Lower Austrians caught up point by point and equalized the deficit within three minutes, while the Gmundners didn’t make a single basket for the rest of the quarter.
In front of 1,300 spectators, including former captain Enis Murati and former catfish giant Tilo Klette, it was the champions’ third defeat in a row. “We now have to be very careful not to be passed on,” said Stelzer. The new second place is Traiskirchen, which won 80:69 against bottom team Fürstenfeld, who still had no points.
The Raiffeisen Flyers Wels, on the other hand, are still on the rise after reaching the cup: with the 110:74 against Eisenstadt they achieved their third league victory in a row. After just 15 minutes of play, the Waser team already had 41 points. After the decisive victory, the hall went wild. “It was a great atmosphere,” praised captain Christian von Fintel. Christopher Ferguson shone with 17 points and 14 rebounds. Coach Sebastian Waser played with high rotation, and six Flyers players scored in double figures.
