More games were moved due to continental competitions, but the teams that were at the bottom of the standings did get a chance to fight their way out starting on Sunday. Glory Johnson and Canik got a 71-55 win at Botas. Another late acquisition led her team as Rebekkah Brunson and MBK Dogus Hastanesi beat Adana Aski 74-63. Fenerbahce had not played a domestic league game in a while and they used the trio of Allie Quigley, Jantel Lavender, and Anastasia Verameyenka to dominate the second half and beat Osmaniye 99-69. Girne University had a great chance to also pick up a win on Monday, but a long drought late allowed Shavonte Zellous and Besiktas to come back and win 71-65. A game from Round 20 was made up on Wednesday with Anastasia Veryameyenka and Allie Quigley teaming up to help Fenerbahce past Gintare Petronyte and Mersin 71-64.
