EKATERINBURG (EuroLeague Women Final Four) – There was a major piece of history for Dynamo Kursk as they landed their first-ever EuroLeague Women title after shooting down Fenerbahce 77-63 to complete a spectacular unbeaten campaign.
Turning Point: Having trailed by as many as 18 points, Fenerbahce came storming back and had the chance to tie with seven minutes remaining which would have potentially been a huge psychological boost. But Sandrine Gruda uncharacteristically missed an open look at the hoop and Dynamo Kursk responded by finishing the contest with a stunning 15-3 run.
