Oberwart Gunners 95 – 87 Basket Club Vienna | Austrian Basketball Superliga | 15 May 2026

The Oberwart Gunners delivered a commanding performance at home, defeating Basket Club Vienna 95–87 in a fast‑paced Austrian Basketball Superliga matchup. The Gunners’ high‑octane offense and stifling defense in the middle quarters proved too much for Vienna, who fought valiantly but ultimately fell short.

Early Dominance

Oberwart wasted no time establishing control. Forward Javis Hines scored 10 points in the first quarter, converting both his attempts from beyond the arc, while point guard Raphael Vatter orchestrated the offense with precision. The Gunners led 28–20 after ten minutes. Basket Club Vienna, led by guard Moritz Lanegger, managed to cut the deficit to 48–44 by halftime, capitalizing on several Oberwart turnovers.

Third‑Quarter Decider

The turning point came early in the third quarter. Oberwart unleashed a 14–2 run over a four‑minute span, with Javis Hines scoring seven consecutive points and center Michael Schrittwieser dominating the paint. Vienna’s offense stalled as they shot just 4‑of‑14 from the field in the period, and Oberwart took a 72–58 lead into the final frame. Despite a late‑game surge from Vienna, who hit four three‑pointers in the last three minutes, the Gunners’ lead was never seriously threatened.
