Legia Warszawa are heading back to the Orlen Basket Liga final. The defending champions wrapped up their semifinal series against crosstown rivals Dziki Warszawa on June 1st with a convincing 91-78 victory in Game 3, sweeping the series 3-0. The performance was a statement of depth and dominance — and it was a bench player who stole the show.
Brewton delivers an explosive performance off the bench
Dominic Brewton was the story of the night. The 26-year-old American guard, signed by Legia in January 2026 from Old Wild West Udine, posted 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in just 25 minutes of action — finishing as the team’s leading scorer despite coming off the bench. The 1.90m Cincinnati native showcased exactly the skill set that made him an attractive signing: quick drives to the rim, reliable mid-range shooting, and the ability to knock down shots from distance.

His performance was not an isolated event. Legia’s sweep of Dziki — which began with a dominant 98-80 win in Game 1 on May 27th — was built on consistent team-wide contributions. In Game 3, Andrzej Pluta added 21 points, Carl Ponsar chipped in 13 points and 8 rebounds, while Jayvon Graves orchestrated the offense with 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists. Shane Hunter also contributed 9 points. When a team’s leading scorer comes off the bench and four other players reach double figures or near it, that is a depth chart few opponents can match.

Legia eye back-to-back OBL titles against underdog Zastal
As the top seed and reigning champions, Legia enter the final as clear favorites. Their path through the playoffs has been smooth, and the sweep of Dziki only reinforces the sense that this squad is operating at a high level when it matters most.
Standing in their way will be ORLEN Zastal Zielona Góra, who earned their finals spot as the 8th seed after upsetting AMW Arka Gdynia. Zastal arrive as underdogs, but their run through the playoffs proves they are capable of beating higher-seeded opponents. The series will be a test of whether Legia’s depth and experience can withstand a motivated, battle-hardened challenger.
Games 3 and 4 of the final are scheduled for June 13 and June 15, 2026 at Hala CRS. If Brewton’s semifinal showing is any indication, Legia have the firepower — and the roster versatility — to defend their title in style.
