NH Ostrava — Brno Basket: 85:76, NBL

NHB Ostrava beat Brno 85-76 in the Czech NBL on September 23rd, 2026. It was a tight affair from the opening tip-off, with the home side grinding out a result they'd been tipped for. The prediction had been for a home win at 51 per cent confidence, and by then the game was already leaning that way.

Ostrava sit eighth in the table with nine wins and thirteen defeats from twenty-two games. Brno occupy third place with sixteen victories and just six losses. That gap in the standings didn't show on the scoreboard tonight — if anything, it was the home side who dictated the tempo.

Ostrava shot 24 from 69 field goals and made eight of their 27 three-point attempts. They collected 42 rebounds with 14 on the offensive end, which kept their second-chance opportunities alive. Nineteen assists and only nine turnovers suggest they moved the ball without forcing it.

Brno were more efficient from the field, hitting 26 of 65 shots and 18 of 27 free throws. They pulled down 37 rebounds but managed only 15 assists across the match. Their 31 personal fouls gave Ostrava extra trips to the line, and by then the momentum had shifted.

The result narrows the gap between the sides in the standings, though Brno still hold a ten-point cushion. Ostrava's run of five games without a win before this one is finally broken. They'll take the confidence, and Brno will have to ask themselves where it went.
