Even though Lietkabelis Panevezys lived up to its reputation as one of the best shooting teams in the competition by making 11 three-pointers from 24 attempts (45.8%), it proved not enough to surprise Segafredo Virtus Bologna at its home court. One of the reasons was the 22 turnovers the Italian champs forced and the home team turned them into 14 steals.

As such, Virtus outscored Lietkabelis 8-2 in fastbreak points, also signing off on 27 second-chance points against its opponent’s 16. Another proof of Virtus’s better care for the ball was its 22 assists with Tornike Shengelia leading the way with a career-high of 8 and seven more players dishing at least 1.
