All of the home teams needed wins on Friday to extend their series to Wednesday. Fenerbahce was led by Breanna Stewart and they avenged their final loss to Jelena Brooks and Sopron by eliminating them 82-62. Raquel Carrera and Valencia were able to finish late this time with an 80-75 win over Costanza Verona and Schio and could be even closer to full strength for the deciding game. Yvonne Anderson and Bourges took a solid lead early, but then had to dramatically fend off Tiffany Hayes and Cukurova to force a final game. Avenida was forced into overtime by Brionna Jones as Alyssa Thomas was also strong again for USK Praha, but they prevailed in the extra period 73-71 and made it three games for Wednesday.
