The pair each achieved an efficiency rating of 30 in the same game, which Sopron Basket won 86-71.

    Hatar finished the contest with a classy double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, shooting almost 70 percent from the floor. The Hungarian center also did the business defensively with 3 steals and 2 blocks.

    Meanwhile Australian star Kunek tried to rally her team by putting up 23 points, passing the rock an eye-catching 11 times.and also adding 4 rebounds and 3 steals. 

    It was a disappointing night for Galatasaray as they missed a glorious opportunity to take a first victory of the season in going down 78-76 at Dynamo Kursk.

    Despite just missing out, there was at least some positives in that Tina Krajisnik and Pelin Bilgic both continued their productive starts to the campaign.

    Serbian center Krajisnik amassed 26 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, while Turkish guard Bilgic also completed a double-double with 15 points and 10 assists - as well as coming up with 4 steals.
