The final round began on Thursday with Dynamo Moscow completely a shock winless season with a 116-87 loss to Enisey Krasnoyarsk, which was led by the duo of Stephanie Mavunga, who captured the scoring title, and Myisha Hines-Allen. The rest of the games were simultaneous tipoffs on Friday. MBA confirmed itself as the best of the rest this season with a 71-69 win over Dynamo Novosibirsk. Inventa Kursk tied them with an 85-62 win at Spartak Moscow. The game that was most intriguing was in Ekaterinburg as Brittney Griner was great, but Breanna Stewart and Dynamo Kursk avenged their loss from the first meeting and gave them something to think about before the playoffs start. Nadezhda beat Spartak Noginsk 65-45.
