Zabiny Brno claimed a commanding 92-52 victory over Valosun KP Brno during the sixth round of the Czech Women’s Basketball League, according to league reports.

Sara Puckett led Valosun with 23 points, though she received minimal offensive support as Zabiny’s collective depth secured the comfortable win.
Dsk Brandys Overcomes Slow Start Against TJ Socol Hradec Kralove
In another weekend matchup on October 24, Dsk Brandys bounced back from a halftime deficit to defeat TJ Socol Hradec Kralove 89-70. The visitors held a slim 39-40 advantage at the break, fueled by 14 points from Alexandra Buknova and a 17-efficiency performance from Jitka Pilarova.
The momentum shifted decisively in the third quarter as Brandys outscored the visitors 25-9 over a ten-minute span. Meghan Boyd paced Brandys with 20 points and a 28 efficiency rating, while Kiara Bell pulled down 19 rebounds to dominate the interior. Brandys out-rebounded the visitors 52-39 overall, coasting through a 24-21 final period to seal the 19-point victory.
Reflecting on the collapse, Jitka Pilarova acknowledged the team’s shortcomings. “Notre jeu a été très indiscipliné. Les joueuses adverses nous dribblaient facilement, nous n’avons pas réussi à défendre sous le panier ni à prendre les rebonds défensifs. On ne peut pas jouer comme ça ici, et encore moins gagner. Je pense que l’esprit combatif nous a fait défaut aujourd’hui.”
Basket Ostrava Secures First Win of the Season Against Bk Trutnov

Jayla Johnson continued her strong individual campaign for Trutnov with 17 points and 15 rebounds, but she lacked consistent secondary scoring as Ostrava expanded its advantage to 63-43 by the end of the thirtieth minute.
Dušan Medvecky expressed satisfaction with the comprehensive performance. “Je suis très satisfait du match d’aujourd’hui. Nous avons gagné pour la première fois, et de loin ! Tout a commencé dès le premier quart-temps, où nous avons tenu toutes nos promesses. Ensuite, nous avons joué à un niveau constant. Nous avons perdu nos moyens pendant un court instant, mais cela n’a duré que dix minutes, contrairement à ce qui s’est passé à Brandýs.”
