# Kapfenberg Bulls End Drought, Win Eighth Austrian Title

> The Bulls clinch their first title since 2019, reclaiming their place atop Austrian basketball with a decisive Game 5 road win.

The Kapfenberg Bulls defeated the Oberwart Gunners 3-2 in the Basketball Superliga finals, winning Game 5 on the road to capture their eighth Austrian championship.

The series, which had been forced to a decisive game after the Gunners won Game 4 at home, was controlled by the Bulls from the opening tip in the winner-take-all contest.

The victory ends a six-year title drought for the Steirian side, whose last championship came in 2019.

The Bulls now stand alone in second place on the all-time titles list, trailing only the now-defunct UBSC Wien (nine titles).

The Gunners, a perennial contender, were denied their fourth championship in club history.
