Our Ladies could not produce points in the first three attacks and the score was 2-2 by the end of the first 2 minutes. Our team unsuccessfully tried to score points under the rim. The score was 8-7 by the end of the 5th minute; Fenerbahçe was more effective and scored 13 points in 6 minutes 30 seconds. Nilay and White scored 10 points and were the players leading their team. Fenerbahçe had a good defense, did not give our Team the opportunity to score and took good advantage of the situations where our Team lost the ball. Yellow & Navy team was 5 point in the lead with 1 minute to play and wrapped up the first period 15-10 ahead.
Fenerbahçe made a fast start to the second period and increased the gap to 10 points by 12th minute after a series of baskets scored.

Neither team could score for a while after 5th minute of the game but our team trimmed the gap down to 6 points (24-16) by 18th minute thanks to Johnson.
