Blazic helps the visitors jump in front
The teams traded shots early with Wiltjer standing out for the hosts and Sow for the visitors. Neither team led by more than a shot until Shawn Jones gave Cedevita a 14-18 lead. Despite an Alexander O'Connell slam, Blazic heated up from deep to add to the Cedevita advantage. Blazic banked in a jumper for a 21-27 lead after 10 minutes.
Reyer stayed close and got within 27-29 on a three by Andea De Nicolao. Cedevita responded with back-to-back threes by Jaka Klobucar and Sow.

7DAYS Magic Moment: Matkovic’s amazing block!
Cedevita extends the difference through Prepelic
Prepelic got going with a pair of jumpers and an assist for Cedevita, though strong play by Tessitori kept Reyer in it. His dunk trimmed the deficit to 54-57. Jones scored twice in the paint as Cedevita pumped its cushion up to 8, prompting a Reyer timeout. The stoppage did not help much as Prepelic netted free throws and set up Rok Radovic for a triple to make it 56-69. The hosts chipped into the difference, but a free throw by Prepelic ended the third quarter with Cedevita ahead 62-72.
Tucker ignites Reyer rally
Reyer threatened with a ferocious slam by Tucker and a three by Brown, though Cedevita kept pace. Tessitori fouled out with more than 6 minutes remaining and the visitors restored a double-digit lead with the resulting free throws. Quick baskets by Simms and Brown gave Reyer hope. The run continued and a three by Tucker capped a 9-0 march that made it 79-81. After Prepelic free throws, Brown sank a triple to get his team within 1. Brown would tie it at 84-84 with a layup with 2:24 on the clock. Tucker drilled the go-ahead three exactly 1 minute later. A triple by Spissu gave Reyer a 90-85 lead with 54.4 seconds remaining and Cedevita never recovered.
