Flammes Carolo Women — KP Brno Women: 101:81, EuroLeague Women

Flammé Carollo saw off KP Brno 101-81 in the Women's EuroLeague on Tuesday evening. The hosts took control from the outset and never let the visitors back into the contest. It was a straightforward victory for the Canadian side, who closed the game out without much fuss.

To be fair, the result wasn't entirely unexpected. We had called for a home win with 87 per cent confidence, and that prediction held up. The hosts have been inconsistent in recent outings—two wins and four defeats in six games—but they've shown flashes of the quality that can trouble any opponent.

KP Brno's away form has been a different matter altogether. They've lost heavily on three of their last five matches, including that 127-66 defeat to USK Prague. By then, the gap between these sides was becoming more apparent. The visitors camped in the final third for stretches but couldn't find the rhythm to match their hosts.

And here's the thing about basketball: you don't need to dominate every quarter to win. Flammé Carollo didn't hold every card throughout, but they worked enough short corners and found the right moments to extend their lead. The margin of twenty points tells you everything about a game where one side simply made more of their chances.

The hosts remain third in the standings after six matches, still searching for consistency. Four defeats in six games means they're running out of games to turn things around. KP Brno drop further behind, their recent form suggesting they have work to do before the season gets serious.
