It has been a game of ups and downs where Cedevita Olimpija pulled away in the opening quarter, but the visiting side managed to turn the game upside-down by halftime, when they have been in front by 3 points (45:48). Cedevita Olimpija fought back in the third quarter, creating themselves a 6-point lead ahead of the final quarter, when they held the lead in their hands all until the end.
