MKB Euroleasing continued their domination of Group A with a third straight EuroLeague Women win, beating TEO Vilnius 86-75.

Having blown a couple of double-digit leads during the game, MKB had to turn on the style in the closing minutes to get the better of their Lithuanian opponents.

Jurgita Streimikyte's lay-up put Vilnius 72-70 ahead with 4:26 left, but Andrea Balas-Pirine Karolyi replied with a three-pointer to put MKB back in the lead.

Albena Branzova's jump shot with 3:32 on the clock then sparked a 13-3 run from MKB to close the game.

Earlier in the match, MKB had twice taken big leads before allowing Vilnius back into the game.

The visitors led 22-20 at the end of the first quarter, but MKB recovered to take a 47-43 advantage into the locker rooms.

Balas-Pirine Karolyi's three-pointer early in the third quarter put them 57-46 ahead, but Douglas brought Vilnius back in touch.

Branzova then made a lay-up with 4:04 left in the period to make it 63-52, but the scores were back to 66-62 when Vilnius opened the fourth quarter with a three-pointer from Douglas.
