The second week of December in the Betsafe-WBBL season was filled with action, even though fewer games were played than the previous week.
The highlight of the week was the game in Riga, where the defending champions TTT-Riga (9-0) hosted the ambitious Neptunas-Amberton (8-3) team from Klaipeda. The hosts won 79-62, but the final score did not reflect the close battle on the court.
With three minutes to play, the visitors were only trailing by six points (61-67) and the outcome of the game could have gone either way. However, the hosts kept their cool and secured the victory.
In the TTT-Riga team, Kyra Lambert, the league's November MVP, stood out again. The point guard scored 12 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, dished out 6 assists, and had 5 steals. Four other Latvian club players also scored in double figures: Ieva Pulvere (18 points), Margaux Claveau (15 points), Gabija Meškonytė (14 points), and Evelina Otto (12 points).
Maria Delgado led the Klaipeda team with 16 points. Marina Solopova (8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals) had 15 points, and Amanda Okodugha had 13 points.
With another victory, TTT-Riga remains the only undefeated team in the Betsafe-WBBL. The Latvian champions are now 9-0 and have a comfortable lead over the second-placed LCC International University (9-2).
Jurmala (1-9) finally celebrated a victory this week, defeating TTT Juniores (0-8) 74-58 and recording their first win of the season. The winning team was led by Zozefine Sipolina, who scored 30 points.
LCC International University (9-2), Siauliai-Vilmers (7-2), Kibirkštis Vilnius (6-2), and Aistes-LSMU Kaunas (6-3) also won their games this week. Kibirkštis beat Jurmala 94-43, Aistes-LSMU defeated BS Riga Juniores 86-58, Siauliai-Vilmers dominated RSU 79-51, and LCC International University outscored Aistes-LSMU 78-51.
