While the WNBA season is now in the (record) books, EuroLeague is getting into high gear. Below is the roundup of the third week of the top European competition:
Group A
For the defending EuroLeague champs, things unfolded pretty similarly through the first two games: Fenerbahçe started the contest hot and continued to score on helpless opponents as the game went on. On Wednesday, when they were able to build up a 13-point lead with two minutes left in the second quarter, it all looked to familiar. Until it didn’t. Four minutes into the second half Zaragoza led 47-46. From that point on, the teams went back and forth, with Fenerbahçe escaping with the three-point win, 74-71. The player of the game, if not of the whole gameday, was Kayla McBride, who kept Fener in the game with her shooting, scoring 26 points and shooting 4-for-6 from 3. With Napheesa Collier’s short-term deal up, fellow Minnesota Lynx big Nikolina Milić and Dallas Wing Natasha Howard will be expected to do more to keep the Turkish champions rolling. On Wednesday Milić scored 13 points, but Howard struggled, going 1-for-4 from the floor with two fouls and a turnover.
DVTK remain the only other unbeaten team in Group A after winning a close…
