During the halftime interviews, Monaco head coach Sasa Obradovic and Milan counterpart Ettore Messina stated that they wanted to see improvements on defense, but the offensive clinic continued after the interval. Luwawu-Cabarrot was particularly impressive in leading Milan's response, providing an assist for Hines and putting more points on the board, as the visitors made it 64-60 with 6:45 to go in the quarter. Two and a half minutes later, with 4:17 remaining, Thomas reached 10 points in the game and cut the gap to one point, 69-68, after going at Monaco new boy Moneke. At 2:30, Milan tied the game after a tough layup by Luwawu-Cabarrot, but another strong finish to end the quarter by Monaco saw the hosts go on a 10-4 run to enter the final period with a lead of 80-74.
In the final quarter of play, Monaco hit back whenever Milan looked to mount a comeback. The visitors struggled to stops when they needed them, and with 5:50 left in the game, Jaron Blossomgame swelled Monaco's lead to 14 points, 92-78, after a scoring around the rim. Milan found a way to stop Monaco's offense for a couple of minutes late in the quarter, but it failed to capitalize on the other end. Eventually, Monaco put the cherry on top of the cake in the final minutes, with James getting his double-double and Blossomgame scoring in the dying seconds to cap off a 101-88 win, which is Monaco's fourth straight victory at home.
