Atomeromu SE PAKS Overpowers Kaposvari KK in High-Scoring Nemzeti Bajnokság Affair

Paks, Hungary – May 17, 2026 – Atomeromu SE PAKS lit up the scoreboard with a season-high 113 points, defeating Kaposvari KK 113-92 in a Nemzeti Bajnokság I/A contest that showcased relentless offensive efficiency. The win solidifies Atomeromu’s position in the middle of the Hungarian top-flight standings, while Kaposvari remains anchored near the bottom of the table.

Offensive Explosion from the Start

Atomeromu came out firing on all cylinders, shooting 63% from the field in the first quarter to build a 34-22 lead. American guard Jalen Robinson was unstoppable early, scoring 12 of his game-high 28 points in the opening period. His ability to penetrate the Kaposvari defense created open looks for teammates, with forward Zoltán Perl adding 19 points and 7 assists.

Kaposvari, known for their up-tempo style, tried to keep pace but were undone by poor perimeter defense. Atomeromu connected on 14 three-pointers at a 43% clip, punishing switches and closeouts. Kaposvari’s star guard Milan Tóth fought back with 24 points and 8 assists, but his individual effort was not enough to stem the tide.

Second Half: Maintaining the Pace

The home side extended the lead to 22 by the midway point of the third quarter. Atomeromu’s bench contributed 35 points, with rookie Bence Kovács scoring 11 on 4-of-5 shooting. Kaposvari coach László Rátgéber rotated his lineup aggressively, but the defensive lapses continued. Atomeromu recorded 30 assists as a team, a season best, reflecting unselfish ball movement that left the visitors scrambling.

Kaposvari did manage to win the fourth quarter 29-26 behind a flurry of three-pointers from guard Ádám Varga (18 points, 5-of-9 from deep), but the deficit proved insurmountable. The final margin of 21 points was the largest of the night.

Season Implications

“We executed our game plan perfectly – we wanted to run, share the ball, and put pressure on their defense,” said Atomeromu head coach Tamás Ambrus. “The guys responded with one of our best offensive performances of the year.” Atomeromu will look to build on this momentum when they host Szolnoki Olajbányász on May 21.
