Bisons Loimaa — Salon Vilpas Vikings: 74:101, Suomen Cup

Vilpas Vikings made short work of Bisons Loimaa, winning 101-74 in the Finnish Cup on Tuesday evening. The visitors controlled proceedings from start to finish, putting a comfortable 27 points between the sides. By then, the result had already told its own story.

Vilpas have now won five matches in a row. They beat CSM Oradea 98-96 on Wednesday, Bakkens Bears 90-72 on Sunday, Levice 90-87 on Friday, Pyrintö Tampere 90-73 earlier in the month, and Kataja 100-69 back in May. The momentum is clear for the away side.

Bisons Loimaa's recent record told a different tale. Their last victory came on 16 September, when they edged Pyrintö Tampere 74-68. Ahead of this match they had mixed results — wins against Lahti and Lapuan Kobrat, but losses to Kataja and Kuovola. The loss to Vilpas adds to that uneven form.

The final scoreline reflected a match where Vilpas were always in control. They scored 101 points while holding Loimaa to 74. The visitors' attack was consistent throughout, while the home side struggled to find any rhythm against a well-organised defence.

This result extends Vilpas's winning run and marks another setback for Loimaa. The visitors continue to build something special, while the hosts will need to regroup soon.
