Leaders Wels celebrate ninth win in a row
League leaders Flyers Wels won the top game of the men's Basketball Super League (BSL) at Klosterneuburg Dukes 81:73 on Saturday.
After the Upper Austrians had lost in round one, this was their ninth win in a row. The Oberwart Gunners are still two points behind after a 98-78 win at home against BC Vienna. In the "basement derby", St. Pölten celebrated its first victory with an 81:74 win in Fürstenfeld, relinquishing last place to the Styrians.
The now fourth-placed Dukes put up a strong fight against the Wels team and were in front shortly before the end of the third quarter. However, the visitors hit the important shots in the final quarter and won quite safely. "Despite a very poor performance in offense in the first half, we kept finding our way back into the game today and then deserved to win thanks to our defense and rebounding," explained Wels' Head Coach Sebastian Waser.
Gmunden could move past Oberwart back into second place with a home win over BBC Nord Dragonz on Sunday, while UBSC Graz will also host the Traiskirchen Lions.
