Gran Canaria came into the game as the EuroCup leader in steals with 9.2 per game and ranked second in forced turnovers with 15.9 per game. Gran Canaria head coach Porfi Fisac knew his guards would need to force things as Bursaspor had committed only 11.7 turnovers a game - third-fewest.

Six different Gran Canaria players had steals - including Andrew Albicy with 2 - and that led to Bursaspor committing 16 turnovers. The backcourt combo of Andrew Andrews (5 turnovers) and Derek Needham (3) had eight miscues amongst them. And thus Gran Canaria’s defense prevailed in the important battle of turnovers.
