Moussa Diagne scored twice inside for the visitors and Connor Morgan nailed a triple, but Perez made a jumper and Samet Geyik drove for a dunk for the hosts to take an 8-7 lead. David Jelinek answered with a triple as the teams traded blows. Turk Telekom went ahead 14-13 on a banked jumper from Perez, but Arteaga scored 6 points before the end of the quarter to help the visitors to an 18-20 lead after 10 minutes.
Arteaga had a tip-in early in the second quarter. Diagne added to the visitors' tally, but a pair of baseline jumpers from Johnson had Turk Telekom ahead 25-24. After Clevin Hannah answered with a three-pointer, Johnson made another baseline jumper. Oriol Pauli and Diagne each scored from close range as did Aubrey Dawkins and Geyik, each after an offensive rebound to tie it at 31-31. A Miller-McIntyre triple gave the visitors a 5-point cushion, but only briefly because Perez answered with the hosts' first three-pointer. However, Miller-McIntyre added another one, just as time was expiring at the end of the half, making it 40-43 at halftime.
Andorra strung together 8 quick points - an alley-oop dunk from Arteaga followed by back-to-back transition triples from Jelinek and Morgan - to lead 41-51. Perez made a three for Turk Telekom and Jared Terrell knocked down a triple, too. Andorra was held without a basket for almost 5 minutes and a layup from Ellis tied it at 51-51. Hannah's floater snapped Andorra's drought before a pair of buckets from Pauli and a three from Drew Crawford made it 54-60. The visitors took a 58-62 edge into the final quarter.
A three-point play from Johnson and a corner triple from Clemmons gave the hosts a 64-62 lead- only their second advantage of the night. But Morgan answered with a basket-and-one and a put-back from Miller-McIntyre gave the visitors a 64-70 margin. A long jumper from Nakic capped a 0-10 run and, after Johnson and Perez halved the deficit, a triple from Nakic and a pair of tip-ins from Arteaga made it 68-79. The visitors increased the margin to 70-82 with 2 minutes to go before closing out the game.
