Legia Warszawa sent a clear message in the Orlen Basket Liga playoffs on May 14, 2026. The Warsaw-based club steamrolled MKS Dąbrowa Górnicza by 34 points, 100-66, in what turned out to be a one-sided quarterfinal affair. The result showcased not only Legia’s firepower but also the remarkable depth of their roster heading deeper into the postseason.
Shane Hunter Steals the Show in His First Playoff Appearance
The biggest story of the night was Shane Hunter. In his first playoff game of the season with Legia, the forward delivered a career-high 19 points in just 19 minutes and 36 seconds of action, adding 5 rebounds and 3 assists along the way. His efficiency was equally impressive, going 2-for-3 from 3-points range for a 66.7 percent clip from beyond the arc.

To put that performance in perspective, Hunter averaged 9.4 points across 37 regular season games. More than doubling that output on the biggest stage of the season signals that he is peaking at exactly the right time for Legia.
A Balanced Attack That Overwhelmed Dabrowa Gornicza
Hunter was far from alone in this dominant showing. Legia’s scoring was spread across the entire lineup, making it virtually impossible for MKS Dabrowa Gornicza to contain. Michal Kolenda chipped in 13 points, while Dominic D.J. Brewton contributed 12 points and 5 assists. Race Thompson was equally effective with 12 points and 7 rebounds, and Jayvon Graves added 11 points and 4 assists to round out a five-man double-figure effort.

That kind of collective production is a nightmare for any defense to handle, and Dabrowa Gornicza had no answer for it throughout the contest.
On the other side, MKS Dabrowa Gornicza struggled to generate any consistent offense. Adrian Bogucki led his team with 10 points and 8 rebounds, while Martin Peterka and Dale Bonner each added 9 points. Luther Muhammad contributed 8 points and 4 assists, but the effort was nowhere near enough to keep pace with a Legia squad firing on all cylinders.
Legia Asserts Playoff Dominance
The 34-point margin is more than just a scoreline – it is a statement. Legia Warszawa demonstrated that their roster goes far beyond a one or two-man show. With multiple contributors capable of stepping up on any given night, they look like a genuine threat to go all the way in this year’s Orlen Basket Liga playoffs.
Hunter’s emergence as a high-impact performer adds another dimension to an already dangerous team. If he can replicate this kind of production in the next rounds, opposing defenses will face an even tougher task trying to slow Legia down.
