Nadezhda:72 Beşiktaş Cola Turka:76

Visiting Beşiktaş Cola Turka Women’s basketball team pulls off a 76-72 victory against Russian Nadezhda in its last FIBA Euroleague game.

The Lady Black and White started hot and jumped out to an early lead which would remain intact until the end of the opening quarter. Beşiktaş Coal Turka held a 23-18 edge entering the second frame. Our Ladies in Black and White continued to outscore their hosts in the second and withstood a late Nadezdha rally to carry a 44-39 advantage into the half. 
The Russian team came alive in the third and began to chip away at the deficit on back-to-back buckets to pull within 1 at 52-51 with 3:00 left. The Black and White tried to rally back but failed to overcome the solid Nadezha defense and had to settle for a 56-56 tie, heading into fourth quarter. The final quarter was a typical seesaw affair with the lead changing hands several times; nevertheless, Beşiktaş Cola Turka would not let Nadezha steal the show, as it managed to come away with a 76-72 victory.

For the Black and White, Shay Doron finished with a game-high 23 points.
