Another year and another title for former UConn star Diana Taurasi.
Taurasi had 22 points, four rebounds and four assists to lead UMMC Ekaterinburg to a 72-69 win over Nadezhda in Sunday's title game.
A 3-pointer by DeWanna Bonner put Nadezhda ahead by four with 6:14 to play. Taurasi hit a pair of 3-pointers in a span of 30 seconds. Another 3-pointer by Taurasi, this one with 1:49 left, put Ekaterinburg in front for good. Taurasi hit a pair of free throws with 13 seconds to play. When Bonner's 3-pointer with 3 seconds left was no good, Ekaterinburg had its third time in the last five seasons.
