Plato scored 7 points as Ulm surged to a 13-5 start, but Yohan Bassoumba helped ASVEL roar back to lead 21-22 at the end of the first quarter. Loussavouvou pushed the visitors’ advantage to 27-33 before Ulm went on an 11-0 run – in which Slingerland and Milicic each scored twice – to cruise to 47-41 cushion at the break. ASVEL
unleashed a 0-9 run midway through third quarter to grab a 56-59 lead, though Kiehlneker handed Ulm a 63-61 advantage at the end of the quarter. ASVEL tied it early in the fourth and took a 72-73 lead on a triple by Risal. Ulm responded with back-to-back-to-back threes by Slingerland, Plato and Gustavs Brutans to take the lead for good.
