It was worst versus first when Shenyang hosted Shanghai, but it took overtime for the visitors to get the expected result, winning 94-87.  Elizabeth Cambage had a good game again, but it was Li Meng whose effort nearly got her team the win.  Guandong beat Shanxi 84-77 as neither foreign player could be stopped, but Yelena Leuchanka edged Penny Taylor.  Beijing just sneaked past Xinjiang 73-71 as Sylvia Fowles had a big game and did her best to bottle up Tina Charles inside, even though Wang Lili nearly managed to fill the void on her own.

Group A

The second half of the group stage started Wednesday as teams fight to be playing pan-continental basketball late into the season.  Villeneuve had a tricky time in Slovakia, needing overtime to grind out a win against Crystal Langhorne and Shenise Johnson powered Good Angels Kosice 60-55 as both teams look to stay in the hunt.  Even with roster adjustments, Dynamo Kursk rolled past Sopron 98-63 with Nneka Ogwumike and a near triple-double from Irina Osipova.  Avenida tried to climb back in the picture in Turkey, but Galatasaray closed the door on them with a 61-59 win thanks to Jewell Loyd.  The game for the top spot in the group in Italy saw visiting Fenerbahce escape Schio with a 64-62 win.  The shooting of Allie Quigley helped cancel out the inside presence of Isabelle Yacoubou.
