The victory meant a 4-0 sweep in the best-of-seven finals for Nymburk, which ended up winning all but one of its 50 games in played in the Czech League this season. Nymburk had more victories the previous season, when it finished with a 53-2 record, but has never lost fewer games than in 2008-09. In the last of those victories, the visitors had to rally in compelling fashion after falling behind 22-20 after one quarter, 40-34 at the half. After Geofin went ahead by as much as 15 points, 51-36 in the middle of the third quarter, Nymburk faced a 60-51 deficit after 30 minutes, Goran Jagodnik led the comeback with several baskets in a 3-24 run that not only erased the deficit, but let Nymburk raise the cup again at the final buzzer. Arthur Lee paced the winners with 22 points and 4 assists. Blake Schilb follwed with 17 points and Jagodnik 14, while Petar Benda ruled the inside with 12 points and 12 rebounds. MORE

CEZ Basketball Nymburk stays as the top contender to win yet another Czech League title. CEZ Basket Nymburk won its fifth straight Czech League championship last season, losing just two games out of 55. Nymburk has dominated the championship the way few other teams did all around the continent in the last five years. Nymburk kept Arthur Lee, Radek Necas, Petr Benda or Blake Schlib while added Goran Jagodnik or Justin Gray, enough to stay competitive at the Eurocup level while dominating its domestic league. Geofin Novy Jicin made it to the title series last season and will try to challenge Nymburk with stars like Kenny Walker, Robert Sarovic or Jamar Smith. Prostejov is set to battle for a spot in the title series, too. The team has inked Shaun Pruitt and Hurl Beechum while keeping Goran Savanovic or Rashaan Ames. BK Decin, with John Ofoegbu and Pavel Houska, and Synthesia Pardubice, featuring Levell Sanders, Lavell Payne and Tomas Gaidamavicius, are set to fight for a spot in the semifinals.
