Key stats
Ostrava starters outscored Chomutov 67-47.
Iveta Raškova`s team had 27 field goals on 23 assists.
Every Ostrava starter registered at least three assists each, while four of them – at least four assists each.
Chomutov received more help from the bench but faced an uphill battle due to the short time for recovery.
Valentyna Kadlečova struggled after a roller-coaster on Saturday.
Katerina Bartonova, Satoranska and Krejzova helped their team to stay in the game until the last possession.
Satoranska`s three pointer, Bartonova`s pull up jumper and Jesika Maud Hibalova`s “and one” cut the gap to three points 72-69 with 50 seconds left.
Ostrava`s attack ended with a missed three point shot and Chomutov got 17 seconds to save the day.
The following play turned into a failure as Bartonova turned the ball over.
Game notes
SBŠ Ostrava split the games again and improved to 2-2.
They traveled all the way from Czezhia in a bus – just like a month ago.
Levharti Chomutov also has two wins but in five games.
They played in Rīga without Najai Wynn-Pollard and probably will need two more wins to advance.
