Jabari Parker: 'We just wanted it more'
Micic and Bryant each hit a triple for an early 6-2 Efes lead. Kalinic and Sanli soon answered to put Barca in charge, 8-13. Kalinic kept pacing the guests, getting help from Higgins for a 16-22 lead after 10 minutes. Micic rescued Efes and Dunston dunked as Efes regained a 26-25 edge. M'Baye struck three times from downtown and Clyburn added another triple to keep Efes in front, 45-41, at halftime. Micic and Clyburn fueled an 8-0 start to the second half that provided the first double-digit difference, 53-41. Micic remained unstoppable and Isaiah Taylor helped him keep Efes fully in charge, 66-57, after 30 minutes. Clyburn took over early in the fourth quarter and even when an outstanding Laprovittola never gave up, Efes managed to keep a safe margin until the final buzzer.
