Virtus had seven players in double figures at the end of the game despite missing Milos Teodosic and Nico Mannion and imposed the final score of 101-83 (31-21, 26-27, 24-18, 20-17)

In the final quarter, Amar Alibegovic was the main guy for Virtus, who was able to extend the lead to 21 points (72-93). Bologna's combination of great percentages from the perimeter and active defense was simply too much to handle for Bursaspor.

Marco Belinelli and Kevin Hervey kept lighting up the score in the third quarter and behind their performances, Virtus extended the lead to a maximum of 19 points (58-77). The Italian team continued to shoot the ball very efficiently from three-point, while Bursaspor struggled to propose a useful defensive reaction.

Kevin Hervey was the top scorer for Virtus Bologna with 18 points (3/4 2PT, 2/4 3PT, 6/6 FT), 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 turnovers, and 1 steal.

For Bursaspor, the top scorer was Allerik Freeman with 15 points (3/6 2PT, 3/8 3PT, 0/1 FT), 3 assists, and 2 rebounds.
