Edin Bavcic started hot for Bosna with 8 points as he led his team into a 18-6 run to start the game while Turk Telekom's big men struggled with 1 of 5 from the paint and insisting too much on threes that didn't go in. Four free throws by Chris Williams and Muratcan Guler made it 18-12 but Lance William's last effort left things at 20-12 after 10 minutes. The second quarter started with four points by Quemont Greer that lifted Bosna a little more, but two straight threes by Guler and Tutku Acik made it a 10-point game again, 30-20. Between Khalid El-Amin and Baris Ozcan, 8 more points fell in for Turk Telekom who was suddenly down by 4 points, 39-35. The guests were still weak inside, but from the arc their 7 of 14 was saving the day. Meanwhile, Bosna still performed better overall but it got stuck now with turnovers that allowed Michael Wright to make it 39-37 and Erwin Dudley finally tied it at 39-39 but two free throws by Lance Williams in the last play allowed the hosts to lead by 2 at the break, 41-39. Defense was the key in the third period as both sides found it tough to score. A three-point play by Erwin gave the guests their first lead since the first quarter but Turk Telekom was not able to pull away. The American players of both teams exchanged baskets as El-Amin hit a three for 47-51 and Greer scored again for 51-53. Things stayed as close as ever after 30 minutes with Turk Telekom dominating by 53-54. The last quarter started tight again but when Dudley put the 57-65 on the scoreboard and then again a 62-71 in minute 37, it was clear that Bosna had to step on the gas if it wanted the win. But in the last minutes however, the guests managed to control the outcome with the slim cushion in their hands.
