Zabiny never lost in the match. For most of the match, they held a roughly ten-point lead, which they increased even more in the final part. In the group A table, they reached Campobasso, and Braine has the same record of 2-1. The best scorer of the match was the Frenchwoman Zoé Wadouxová from Žabin with 20 points.
The KP players led the Italian champion by 14 points, but they failed in the third quarter, in which Sassari even briefly took the lead. For the second victory in the competition, the wards of coach Marcela Krämer had to fight until the very end. Královo Pole thus moved to first place in the group in the standings, but so far 100% Montpellier has Thursday’s game against Dubrovnik to look forward to.
“I think that in the third quarter we stopped defending a little bit and we stopped attacking. We also had a lot of losses, which slowed us down,” said Kateřina Galíčková, who was a clear force for Brňanek with 25 points and 15 rebounds. “Losing a bigger lead is a shame, we could have stretched it by more points, but the win counts. I’m happy for how we fought, this will lift us up a lot,” she added.
Chomutov said goodbye to the home environment in the European Cup with the third and most significant defeat. In the match against the Lithuanian champions, the Leopards were losing from the first basket, and even though they won the third part by six points, they were far from turning around. The North Bohemians thus suffered their fifth competitive defeat in a row. Their best scorer was Eliška Brejchová with 21 points.
