Kazakhstan leaned on a strong second quarter surge to break the game open against a hard-fighting Uzbekistan, 77-51. The game was close after one period, 17-13, before the lady Snow Leopards tigheened up on defense and sharpened their shooting in the second stanza. They led 40-22 at the halftime break and never looked back. Zalina Kurazova was huge for Kazakhstan with 24 points and 8 rebounds, while Nadezhda Kondrakova had 18 points and 10 boards.
