Swans Gmunden drew 1-0 in the men’s Basketball Superliga (BSL) best-of-five final on Saturday evening. The Upper Austrians defeated defending champion BC Vienna 87:67 (36:33). The second game will take place on Tuesday (8:15 p.m., live ORF Sport +) in Vienna.
The Swans had to return to the floor just two days after the 3-2 win against the Flyers Wels in the semifinals on Thursday evening, but there was no sign of tiredness. From the second half, the locals turned up the heat in front of 1,100 enthusiastic spectators and in the third ten minutes they pulled away decisively. The lead increased to 60:43 (28th).
After the break, the throws of the Upper Austrians fell almost somnambulistic. The reigning champions had nothing left to oppose and slid into the highest bankruptcy of the season. For Vienna, the 67:87 was also the first defeat in this year’s play-off. Center Jozo Rados had to miss the semi-final against the Dukes Klosterneuburg because of back problems.
A side detail from Gmunden’s point of view: The Swans played in their away kits because the white kit intended for home games was stolen on Friday. The club has filed a complaint.
