Both Eisenstadt Dragonz and Oberwart secure clear wins on Sunday. Champions Klosterneuburg suffer a defeat in the BDSL.
The Eisenstadt Dragonz left no doubt from the start in their 98:75 victory against BC Vienna.
The Burgenland team already led 45:27 at halftime, and by the end of the third quarter, the lead was 26 points. Andrew Orr was the standout player with 32 points, eleven rebounds, and six assists.
Although the young Viennese won the rebounding battle 38:34, they found no defensive answer against the visitors. Michael Holton Jr. scored 26 points for Vienna, who are still waiting for their first win after five games.

The Gunners Oberwart also got off to a strong start in their 93:80 win in Graz, leading 29:14 at the first quarter break after an early 10:1 run.
The Eagles kept pace better afterward but could not significantly cut the deficit. Victor Searls led the Burgenland team with 22 points. For Graz, Josiah Shackleford impressed with 23 points and eleven rebounds, as did Cobie Barnes with 22 points.
