Meanwhile, Cibona was unstoppable in the offensive end, as a mid-range jumper by Penn and 5 consecutive points by Mance helped the hosts to a mammoth 17-0 opening run. Efthimios Rentzias, who had just come off the bench, scored the first Ulker point in the game, and from then on, Ulker managed to exchange baskets, as Rentzias score a couple and Brad Traina added one more to cut the local lead to 13, 20-7, with 2 minutes to go in the first quarter.

Rentzias, the only Ulker player who could beat Cibona's defense, made the first basket of the second quarter, but 4 consecutive points by Golemac ignited a 10-0 local run. Josko Poljak dunked, Mance made a layup and Davor Kus added 2 foul shots to push Cibona's lead to an incredible 25 points, 35-10.

Ulker had 10 turnovers and missed all 11 of its three-point attempts until then, while Cibona was 6-for-11 from downtown.

It was do-or-die time for Ulker early in the third quarer, but Golemac and Penn scored 4 points to help Cibona reach its biggest lead, 33 points, at 58-25.

Just when the local fans started to wonder, Cibona sealed the game. Ulker failed to score during the next 3 minutes and Cibona added five points to extend its lead to 82-64, with 4 minutes to go. Gonlum made a layup and Booker drilled a pair of three-pointers, bringing Ulker within 12, 84-72. Even when the guests carried on reducing their deficit to 9 points, 89-80 in the final minute, the outcome was clear. Not even Ulker's 63 points in the second half could keep Cibona from this victory.
