With the end of the regular season approaching, teams needed to start making up games, starting on Wednesday with Latoya Williams and Dynamo Novosibirsk beating Ana Dabovic and Dynamo Moscow 71-64. Spartak Noginsk got close to their first win on Friday, but still lost to MBA 73-68. Sunday started out in Kazan, where the hosts beat Dynamo Novosibirsk 66-58. In Orenburg, Nadezhda took care of Spartak Moscow 78-47. The most highly anticipated game of the season took place in Kursk with the stars all showing up. Angel McCoughtry and Nneka Ogwumike helped the hosts cancel out Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner and their ability to draw on a full strength roster helped them beat UMMC 99-86. The result shows that Dynamo Kursk is not planning on conceding the domestic league with the EuroLeague title also possibly coming down to these two teams this season as well. Kamile Nacickaite decided to let loose from outside, helping Dynamo Moscow beat Chevakata 76-72. Spartak Noginsk struggled again on Monday as they lost to Enisey 68-44 in Krasnoyarsk.
