Olympiacos stormed out of the gate with its defense, holding Baskonia without a basket for more than 4 minutes, while a pair of triples from Dorsey helped opened a 0-12 lead. The margin was 4-19 before Clement Frisch connected on back-to-back threes to cut it to 12-19. Milutinov and Dorsey restored a double-digit margin, but just briefly because Howard hit back-to-back triples as the hosts cut it to 20-27 at the end of the first quarter.

Another three from Howard sparked a run that got Baskonia within 29-31, but Ward and Alec Peters pushed the margin into the double figures again, making it 33-43 from long range. Ward and Milutinov kept the Reds’ margin safe, but Luwawu-Cabarrot had a tough baseline jumper and a triple before Diallo and Forrest helped Baskonia finish the half strong on both ends of the floor, making it 48-49 at halftime.

Baskonia took its first lead with a triple from Tadas Sedekerskis, and after Vezenkov knocked down his first triple, a three from Luka Samanic made it 58-56. Dorsey answered with 6 consecutive points, but Markquis Nowell scored 5 points to spark a 7-0 run which got the hosts back in front, 65-64. Vezenkov had a three-point play, yet Luwawu-Cabarrot answered with a four-point play, only for Donta Hall to secure a slim lead for Olympiacos going into the final 10 minutes, 70-73.

Baskonia made an early fourth-quarter push through Luwawu-Cabarrot, who had a three-point play then nailed back-to-back triples to make it 81-79. Sedekerskis also hit one from downtown and an acrobatic three-point play from Diallo opened 87-83. But the Reds continued making free throws, then Fournier had a pair of baskets driving to the rim to make it 90-91. A high-arching catch-and-shoot triple from Vezenkov made it a 92-96, only for Thomas Walkup to nail a step-back triple with 40 seconds to go, making it 94-99 and securing a win for the Reds.
