Then our center made two free throws, followed by a 9-0 run from the home side, which turned the game their way for the first time (11-6). Jeca put an end to the scoring run with a close shot, to which Aleks added another, reducing the gap to one, abd then Candice made another double to give us the lead back 8th minute 11-12). After that Allen hit a three, and Balintova made a lay-up while drawing a foul, forcing our furst time-out in the game (16-12). Balintova converted the and-one after the short pause, while Betti made a double at the other end setting the score for the quarter (10th minute 17-16).
Balintova opened the second period with a shot from outside, to which Betti answered back with a lay-up, and then Zsófi tied it up with one of her own (13th minute 20-20). Kastanek and Betti exchanged buckets, the former scored for three, and the latter for two. Allen made three free throws, to which Rembiszewska added a lay-up after a fastbreak, and with a mid-range jumper by Allen they were already on a 7-0run before Jeca put an end to it. Rembiszewska hit another one, and then Jeca split a pair of foul shots, and then Zsófi buried one from behind the arc. However, Slamova answered back with a triple of her own (17th minute 35-28). Tina scored four in a row reducing the gap to three, and forcing Gundars Vetra to call his first time-out of the game (35-32). Slamova put two on the board for Gdynia after the break, to which Briann replied with a three. The Polish closed the half on a high note and gained a solid advantage (20th minute 44-38).
Rembiszewska opened the second half with a triple, to which Candice answered back from mid-range (47-40). We were doing everything to cut into Gdynia's lead, and when Jeca made a lay-up, we were only trailing by three (25th minute 51-48). What's more, with a double by Candice we managed to get as close as a single point, and then Briann handed out an assist to Jeca for two which gave us the lead after a long time forcing Gdynia's next time-out (27th minute 53-54)! We ended the period with a 1-8 run, which gave us the momentum for a good ending in the game (30th minute 54-62).
A lay-up by Betti gave us a double-digit lead to start the final stage of the game, to which Rembiszewska answered back with a double of her own, and when Greinacher made another one it was Dávid Gáspár's turn to call his team to the bench to talk things over (33rd minute 58-64). Aleks buried a huge triple after the short pause, to which Candice added two, but then the home side scored four in a row. After that Aleks made a double to force Gundars Vetra to call his next time-out (36th minute 62-73). In the remaining time Gdynia tried everything to
make it tight, but we wouldn't let that happen and collected another important win on the road in Euroleague (40th minute 67-77).
Dávid Gáspár: We switched into the gear we should have been in since the second quarter in the second half. We knew that they had great shootersand that they play a lot of pick and roll, from which they can find these shooters.All in all their 3PT percentage was extraordinary. We should have tightebed our defense a lot more. That happened in the second half. We have allowed 23 points which secured the win for us. I think we had some imaginative plays on offense when we were playing patiently. I am happy about the win, we have made an important step in the Euroleague group.
Candice Dupree: We started very slowly, especially on defense. We got more agressive on offense after the break, which resulted in more accurate shots.
Because of the SuperCup game on Tuesday our next home game will take place at an unusual time, on Friday from 6 pm, in which we host BKG PRIMA NATURA Szigetszentmiklós

The board of our club has great experience in managing difficulties, but we are facing an especially huge challenge in terms of functioning due to the energy crisis, as well as on a professional level, since Courtney Vandersloot is for now unable to join our team due to personal reasons
Klubunk vezetésének nagy tapasztalata van már a nehézségek menedzselése terén, de most különösen nagy kihívások elé nézünk a működés tekintetében az energia-válság miatt, illetve szakmai vonalon is, miután személyes okok miatt Vandersloot Courtney egyelőre nem tud csatlakozni a keretünkhöz
