After a willpower victory in the second game against Traiskirchen, Oberwart's basketball players already have match point to reach the final.

The Gunners were tired and didn't look fresh. The semi-final series in the Basketball Super League takes strength. Nevertheless, they beat Traiskirchen in the second game. And have the first match point for the final! "Unbelievable, simply amazing," said coach Horst Leitner, who could hardly believe it. His squad surpassed themselves in terms of passion and fought with their last ounce of strength against their opponents, who were the better players on the day.

"The boys are real mentality monsters, that's outstanding." Even if the 67:66 victory required a large portion of luck. "Whether it was deserved or not doesn't matter in the end. Wins count, especially in the play-offs. The team left everything on the court."
