Manresa relied on Golden and Benitez for its first eight points and an early 8-6 lead. Gray’s three-point play, and Coleman-Jones’s three-pointer pushed the visitors ahead, while Manresa’s only answer was a Reyes triple once Golden and Benitez were replaced. Slask kept its momentum going thanks to free throws by Kirkwood and Kolikowski’s long shot, which extended the margin to 12-17. Gaspa’s first career basket ended the quarter with Manresa down 14-17.

When play resumed, Golden and Benitez helped the home team regain an 18-17 lead. Although Slask answered quickly with contributions from Kirkwood and Urbaniak, it struggled to stop Akobundu-Ehiogu's explosive performance. The Nigerian boosted Manresa's momentum with several impressive plays, including two big blocks, a fast-break dunk, and an alley-oop. Ubal and Plummer then joined the party from the perimeter, completing an 11-0 run that pushed the lead to 31-21. However, Slask didn’t step back and responded with Niziol and Kulinoski, closing the gap to 36-28 at halftime.

After halftime Manresa surged ahead, with Alphonso Plummer leading a 7-0 offensive run that widened the lead to 43-28. Slask struggled to score for over four minutes and had already committed 13 turnovers, but Kirkwood’s tough layup finally energized the Polish team. Urbaniak supported Kirkwood on offense, and Niziol’s three-pointer narrowed Slask’s deficit to 50-44. Akobundu then stepped up, delivering a highlight-worthy play and securing a three-point play on an alley-oop, ending the third quarter with Manresa firmly ahead at 53-44.

Manresa stepped onto the court confidently, starting the final period with a 6-2 run that rebuilt its double-digit lead to 59-46. Slask's offense continued to falter against Manresa's aggressive defense, with only Sanon managing to score during the first five minutes of the quarter. Reyes sank a three-pointer and Goldman added a floater, pushing the score to 64-46. Although Sanon tried to energize his team, Manresa remained firmly ahead at 68-54 with just three minutes left. Dejon Davis committed an unsportsmanlike foul during crunch time, ending any hope of a Slask comeback and letting the Manresa fans celebrate their first home win.
