Asvel's defense was the big protagonist in the first quarter. The hosts shut the Slask offense completely and soon the score was 15-7 after Yohann Sangare's triple, which became 17-9 after 10 minutes. Things were different however in the second period. A 0-7 burst by Slask capped by Dawan Robinson's three-point play allowed the guests to pull within 20-18 and later Oliver Stevic tied the game at 22-22.

Martin was still trying to put Slask back into the game in the last minute but that was all he could do as Asvel escaped with the win.
