The start to the play-offs has failed - on Tuesday (6 p.m., live on ORF Sport+) Oberwart's basketball players want to draw 1:1 at home against the champions. Captain Sebastian Käferle is convinced that this will not be the Gunners' last home game of the season...

Game one is analyzed, ticked off. Oberwart's Superliga basketball team will have the opportunity to respond to the 78:96 defeat in Gmunden to open the best-of-five quarter-final series on Tuesday at home. After which coach Horst Leitner felt "that we also let our guard down a little."

Mistakes are punished harshly by the champions
What needs to go better than on Sunday? "We have to focus on the things that have made us strong in recent weeks," believes captain Sebastian Käferle, his team's best scorer on Lake Traunsee with 17 points. Where they had "conceded defeat too easily, especially in one-on-one situations, even if the result was ultimately clearer than the game actually was." But while the Gunners missed easy lay-ups, they allowed their opponents too many second chances - which a team of the champions' stature exploits mercilessly.

A win on Tuesday would guarantee that there is at least one more home game this season, "but it's a series that goes to three," Käferle tries to take some of the pressure off: "Even a 0:2 wouldn't kill us - but we don't want to let it get that far!"
