In contrast to the basketball super league “Krösus” BC Vienna, master Gmunden did not take the Vienna Timberwolves lightly and won the sports year with a 93:59 (49:33) victory in the local Volksbank Arena Adopted in 2021. It was the seventh success of fourth in the eleventh season championship match.
The Swans vom Traunsee practically made everything clear in the first quarter (29:12) and always had the action under control. This also made their convalescent head coach Anton Mirolybov, who is recovering from two successful colon cancer operations, satisfied. Captain and top scorer Daniel Friedrich (20 points) and the American “energizer” Stephon Jelks, who shone with ten counters, 14 rebounds and ten assists, gave the 44-year-old Finn a lucky charm. A piglet with a four-leaf clover may give Mirolybov strength on the way back.
“The first and the last quarter were outstanding, in between there was a lot of idling,” analyzed Gmundens CFO Harald Stelzer: “But if you can switch that way, it should be fine.

Without the trio Davor Lamesic, “Jimbo” Lull and Samuel Orf, the people from the exhibition center ran out of air in the finish, as they did in the derby against Gmunden. Even 23 points and eleven rebounds from Tylan Birts did not allow revenge for the 80:87 home bankruptcy on October 16.
