Virtus was rallying back from 16 points down, 47-63, and got to within 76-77, but then Clyburn nailed a tough three-pointer over Isaia Cordinier with 56 seconds to go. That was also Efes's first field goal in more than 6 minutes. By the end of the game, Clyburn finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Beaubois, who scored 8 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, added a pair of late free throws to help Efes hold on. Beaubois was 8-for-8 from the free-throw line and a much-needed calm presence on the floor in a hectic finish.
