While the Greek team was emboldened to play good defense, Codi Miller-McIntyre's magical shot determined the final score. Though Olympiacos had 0.7 seconds to try and convert one more basket, it was a fumbled shot, and Baskonia went away with a victory.

The fourth quarter was full of drama as both sides missed a total of 18 field goals in just 10 minutes. Alec Peters scored a three-pointer to put Olympiacos ahead for the first time since the second quarter (72-71).

Chima Moneke, who had hustle plays throughout the game, scored two points after a turnover to put Baskonia back up in front (73-72).

Yet, Baskonia made the crucial basket and eventually celebrated an away win.

The game was one of the changing advantages. Olympiacos started the match hot, gaining an early headstart in a situation, building a 9-point lead (20-9).

For the second quarter, the Greek team was in for a rude surprise as the offenses were all Baskonia. The Basques played quick and loose basketball, keeping Olympiacos to just 9 points in the whole quarter, entering the half with a 15-point lead (50-35).
