The visitors jumped ahead right away with a three from Tyler Cavanaugh, as well as baskets from Tai Odiase and Smith. The latter also knocked down a triple, but so did Ferrell and Sulaimon to cut it to 10-12. But Bahcesehir scored the next 7 points, a run capped by another three from Smith to make it 10-19. Buducnost did not score a field goal for more than four minutes until Ferrell nailed a transition triple, and Magee's four-point play got the hosts' deficit within four points before Hazer made it 20-26 after 10 minutes.
What Magee started late in the first, he continued early in the second, first hit a long jumper, then a corner triple, followed by another four-point play to cut it to 29-30. McKinley Wright put Buducnost in front. Bahcesehir needed nearly five minutes for its first field goal in the second quarter, a CJ Massinburg's triple which snapped an 11-0 run, and tied things at 33-33. A triple and two-pointer from Bouteille helped restore Bahcesehir's lead, 38-41, only for Buducnost to go on another 11-0 run, with Magee sinking a pair of triples and Ferrell adding one. The hosts opened a 49-41 lead, but the visitors halved it from the free-throw line, making it 49-45 at halftime.
Baskets were far fewer and far between in the third quarter. Hazer did make a triple to put Bahcesehir up 49-50, but big men Andrija Slavkovic, Kenan Kamenjas and Nikola Tanaskovic restored a lead for the hosts, 56-53, midway through the third quarter. But Bouteille scored after an offensive rebound, Simonovic nailed a three-pointer, then after a timeout, Bouteille hit a transition triple. A close-range basket from Odiase and a buzzer-beating triple from Hazer made it 56-70 after 30 minutes.
Bahcesehir needed almost three minutes to score in the fourth, but Buducnost scored just five points in that span, not using its defensive effort to full extent. Ferrell's three-point play cut it to 66-76, but Bouteille knocked down a triple on the other end. A tough runner from Smith helped the visitors open a 69-83 lead, as they were in full control. Wright and Ferrell hit a triple apiece to cut it to 75-84, but that's as close as the hosts got as Smith led Bahcesehir's final charge and a 17-point win, the game's largest margin of the night.
