Ratiopharm got off to a decent start to capture a 7-point lead (13-6) after Cemaj Christon's two-pointer. Promitheas' tries to shrink the deficit were largely unsuccessful until a late second-quarter push trimmed down the home team's lead to only 1 (32-31).

The Greek team continued their momentum into the third quarter to finish off the period on an 11-3 run to lead by eight (54-46).

The fourth quarter marked a close fight by the teams up until 3 minutes left on the clock when Ratiopharm went on a 10-1 to shrink their deficit to only 4 (65-69). The late surge wasn't enough, however, to capture the third straight win, and Promitheas prevailed in the end.

Kendrick Ray led Promitheas' team effort with 14 points, 2 rebounds, and 6 assists. Nikolaos Rogkavopoulos chipped in 9 points and 6 rebounds while Jerai Grant muscled in 10 points, captured 4 rebounds, and dished out 3 blocks.
