ERA Basketball Nymburk are Czech champions. In the most pressure-filled game of the season, Nymburk delivered a commanding 91-74 victory over BK KVIS Pardubice on June 15, 2026, sealing the Maxa NBL title in a decisive Game 7. The 17-point margin tells the story of a team that was simply better organized, more balanced, and more clinical when the stakes were at their highest.
Sehnal Orchestrates, Perkins Finishes
Ondrej Sehnal was the engine behind Nymburk’s title-winning performance. The guard finished with 22 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists in 30 minutes and 30 seconds on the floor — a stat line that reflects not just individual brilliance, but a genuine commitment to making teammates better. His playmaking kept Pardubice’s defense constantly rotating and guessing, opening lanes and creating clean looks throughout the game.
Tony Perkins complemented him perfectly. The American guard poured in 21 points in just 26 minutes and 48 seconds, providing the kind of off-the-catch and off-the-dribble scoring punch that a championship run demands. Together, Sehnal and Perkins formed a two-headed attacking threat that Pardubice simply had no answer for in a winner-takes-all environment.
Bryant Jr. Fights Alone for Pardubice
On the other side, Joe Bryant Jr. gave everything he had. The Pardubice scorer matched Sehnal’s output with 22 points in 26 minutes and 42 seconds, but his single assist underlines the fundamental problem Pardubice faced in Game 7: their offense became too dependent on individual creation. With Bryant Jr. shouldering the scoring burden largely in isolation, Nymburk’s defense could focus its attention and limit the damage elsewhere.
A team built around one player generating offense is rarely equipped to win a Game 7, and Pardubice’s 74-point total reflects that structural imbalance. When the collective breaks down under pressure, the gap between a star performer and a championship-winning team becomes painfully clear.
Nymburk’s System Wins the Day
What ultimately separated these two teams in the decisive game was not just talent, but structure. Nymburk’s 8 assists from Sehnal alone point to a team that moved the ball, trusted each other, and executed a coherent offensive system. Pardubice, by contrast, struggled to generate team offense in the moments that mattered most.
ERA Basketball Nymburk can now celebrate a hard-earned Czech league title, secured the right way — through a full seven-game series, with their best players stepping up in the biggest moment of the season.
