The game got off to a good start for Trento, with Grazulis scoring the team's first 7 points before it took a 14-7 lead. Paris was being very careless with the ball in the first quarter, as it had 5 turnovers and found itself two points down, 20-18, after the first 10 minutes of play. Head coach Will Weaver got into the Paris players, which led to a quarter in which the visitors outscored Trento 17-31 to go into halftime 37-49. Allman was beginning to unlock the Trento defense with ease, which was creating easy opportunities to score for the likes of Kamagate and Toupane. The lead stretched to 56-72 after the third quarter, but Trento never gave up and eventually managed to pull the game to within one point, 86-87, with 15.6 seconds remaining. New Paris signing Jeremy Evans used his experience to score a two-pointer and create a three-point gap between the two teams, and he then grabbed the crucial rebound to end the game after two failed three-point attempts by Trento.
