Srsni Pisek Stun BK Opava 88-77 in Czech NBL Road Test

Srsni Pisek delivered one of the early statements of the Narodni Basketbalova Liga season on October 18, 2026, going on the road to defeat BK Opava 88-77. The visitors paired a patient half-court offense with a decisive fourth-quarter run, turning a tense single-digit game into a comfortable win and handing Opava a home defeat in front of their own supporters.

Pisek never allowed the game to become a track meet. Instead, they controlled the tempo, moved the ball through the paint, and made Opava work for every clean look. The result was a performance that looked mature well beyond the early stages of the campaign.

Match overview

The opening quarter set the tone for a close, physical contest. Opava edged ahead briefly behind aggressive drives and second-chance points, but Pisek answered at the end of the period to take a 22-20 lead. The visitors stretched that advantage in the second quarter, using a 10-2 run midway through the frame to build a 46-38 halftime cushion.

Opava came out with more urgency after the break. Their guards pushed the pace, the home crowd found its voice, and the lead was trimmed to 65-60 entering the final quarter. But Pisek had the better closing unit on the night, and their execution in the last six minutes proved decisive.

How the game turned

Opava cut the deficit to 66-64 early in the fourth, briefly threatening to complete the comeback. Pisek responded with a 10-0 burst, capped by back-to-back three-pointers from the wings, to push the lead back to double digits. From there, the visitors slowed the game down, drew fouls, and converted at the free-throw line.

Pisek shot 11-of-27 from beyond the arc and committed only 11 turnovers, a sharp contrast to Opava’s 16 giveaways. Opava won the rebounding battle 38-34, but too many of those extra possessions ended in rushed shots or live-ball turnovers that Pisek turned into easy points.

Standout performers

• Tomas Dvorak led Pisek with 24 points and seven assists, controlling the pace in the fourth quarter.
• Jakub Krivanek added 18 points and nine rebounds, including several key offensive boards late.
• Radek Farsky was Opava’s best performer with 21 points, but he received limited support in the closing minutes.

Season impact

The win gives Srsni Pisek valuable momentum in the Narodni Basketbalova Liga standings and reinforces their reputation as a side capable of winning away from home. For BK Opava, the defeat is a reminder that defensive discipline must hold up for all 40 minutes in a league where margins are often narrow.

Both teams now turn to their next fixtures with different questions. Pisek will look to carry their fourth-quarter composure into the next round, while Opava must address their turnover problems before another home date.
