In the next period, Besiktas players took control on Athinaikos and they managed to grab 4-point lead until the half time. It was 44-39. Nothing has changed after that as Besiktas still was slightly better team. Nykesha Sales and her teammates reached double-digit lead (58-47) at the midway of third period and it was clear they are on the right track to victory.

Dacic, Nykesha Sales and Shavonte Zellous were almost unmistakable from the free throw line when it was the most important for their team. That is how Besiktas got last five, and at the same time the crucial points in this game.
