The championship celebration in the Men’s Basketball Superliga (BSL) has been postponed for the time being.
Defending champion Swans Gmunden won 107:86 (59:48) at BC Vienna on Saturday evening and thus reduced the “best of five” final series to 1:2. In the 19th home game of the season, the Viennese suffered their first defeat, which was also the first in the play-off. The fourth encounter rises on Tuesday (from 6.45 p.m. live on Sky Sport Austria 2) at the Traunsee.
Man of the evening in the Hallmann Dome in Vienna-Favoriten was Carlos Novas Mateo. The Austrian national team player, who was born in Santo Domingo, scored 19 of his 26 points in the second half alone. The 30-year-old scored four times from distance and caused the turnaround. After ten minutes, the locals were still leading 26:21.
The Viennese did not find an answer even after the change of sides. The Upper Austrians showed the heart of a champion and pulled away to 72:53 (24th min.) and 78:59 (26th min.). The locals couldn’t get any closer than nine points. On the contrary: The Swans even pulled away to 96:74. There were only five minutes left on the clock. Gmunden played the victory home confidently.
