Valencia stormed out of the gates. After Tobey and Pradilla scored inside, Victor Claver and Josep Puerto hit back-to-back triples to make it 10-2. Zugic hit a jumper, but another three from Claver and a dunk from Tobey opened a 17-4 lead. Zugic answered with a three-pointer and Jallow scored 4 points to cut it to 19-11, but Tobey's three-pointer and 5 points from Dubljevic, including a triple extended the lead to 29-13 before Marius Stoll made it 29-16 after 10 minutes.

Jallow opened the second quarter with a layup and a fastbreak dunk, but Ferrando and Dubljevic knocked down back-to-back three-pointers to restore a 15-point margin. Michael Rataj hit a baseline jumper before Nat Diallo and Zugic scored from close range to make it 37-26. Martin Hermannsson had a three-point play and, after Per Guenther answered with a triple to cut it to 42-29, Tobey scored twice inside to spark a 9-0 run, capped with a triple from Pradilla. Valencia went into halftime up 52-30.

Jallow opened the second half with a corner three-pointer, but Hermannsson also hit one from long range and Labeyrie scored twice from close range to help open a 61-35 margin. Moritz Krimmer had a triple for Ulm, but Jasiel Rivero's put-back was followed by back-to-back threes from Dubljevic for a 13-2 run. Labeyrie also made a pair of threes, with Dubljevic nailing his fifth in between, as Valencia surged to 82-45 heading into the fourth quarter.

A fastbreak dunk from Pradilla broke the 40-point barrier, 86-45 in the opening 30 seconds of the fourth quarter. Nicolas Bretzel and Tobey traded alley-oop dunks. Thomas Klepeisz had a three for the visitors, but Millan Jimenez made it 93-52 with a three of his own. Ulm scored the next 10 points, a run capped by a triple from Bretzel, to cut into the deficit. However, the game was long decided as Valencia cruised to a victory, but not before Alejandro Bellver hit a three-pointer in his EuroCup debut.
