The Biosil-WBBL championship game saw Latvian powerhouse TTT-Riga defend their title, defeating Klaipeda's LCC International University 77:66 (17:23, 28:17, 22:18, 10:8).
Ieva Pulvere from TTT-Riga drew first blood with free throws, but Lina Loceniece splashed two triples in a row to show her team's championship aspirations.
LCC didn't just talk the talk, they walked the walk. They controlled the pace early, building an 8-point lead (21:13) thanks to free throws from Urte Slavickaite and Maisa Dias.
Elizabete Bulane drained a three in the second quarter to extend the Klaipeda team's lead to 9 points (26:17). However, Ieva Pulvere answered back with a two-pointer, and Margaux Claveau's three-ball forced LCC's coach Vilius Stanisauskas to call a timeout.
The timeout didn't faze TTT-Riga. Midway through the second, Gabija Meskonyte found herself open for a fast-break layup to tie the game at 30-30. Pulvere then put TTT-Riga ahead with another bucket (34-33).
