Sencur KK 75 – 65 Helios Domzale
Liga Nova KBM | 10 May 2026

Sencur KK ground out a hard‑fought 75‑65 victory over Helios Domzale in the Liga Nova KBM on Saturday, leaning on a stingy defensive effort and timely scoring down the stretch. The win keeps Sencur firmly in contention near the top of the table, while Helios are left to rue another missed opportunity away from home.

First‑Half Battle

The opening two quarters were a chess match. Both teams traded baskets, with neither able to establish a lead larger than five points. Sencur’s defence forced six turnovers in the first half, but Helios matched the intensity on the other end. At the break, the score was deadlocked at 38–38.

Helios Domzale looked the more fluid side early in the third quarter, briefly nudging ahead 47–43. But Sencur responded with a feisty zone defence that flummoxed the visitors. Over the next seven minutes, Helios managed only six points, allowing Sencur to grab a 56–52 advantage heading into the final frame.

Decisive Fourth Quarter

Sencur’s poise under pressure became the defining factor. With the game in the balance, their veteran guard took over, scoring 10 of his game‑high 22 points in the fourth quarter. He also drew three charging fouls that disrupted Helios’s offensive rhythm. The home team’s free‑throw shooting – 15 of 18 in the quarter – sealed the win.

Helios Domzale fought until the final buzzer, but poor shooting from deep (4 of 18, 22%) and 14 turnovers proved insurmountable. Their leading scorer managed 18 points but needed 17 shots to get there.

Standout Numbers

• Sencur KK: 47% field goal shooting, 8 steals, 26 rebounds (10 offensive).
• Helios Domzale: 41% shooting, only 9 assists, outscored 22–13 in the fourth quarter.

What It Means

For Sencur, this victory is another building block in a season that has seen them develop a reputation as a tough, disciplined unit. They move to within two games of the league leaders. Helios, meanwhile, drop to a .500 record and face a critical run of fixtures to stay in playoff contention. Both teams will take lessons from this contest, but only Sencur will celebrate the two points.
