Melli got Milan going right after the tipoff with a couple of triples that helped the hosts earn an early 7-6 lead. Barca struck back by using the same weapon, as a three-pointer apiece from Mirotic and Kuric helped the visiting team build a 0-8 run that boosted it to a 12-19 score late in the first quarter. Milan found a way to prevent the visitors from pulling away, as it fed Hines and Voigtmann inside. After the end of the first 10 minutes, Barca had a narrow 3-point lead, 18-21.

The two teams' defenses improved in the second, but Hines made it all square, 25-25, four minutes into the quarter. Barca kept struggling to make shots, and even though it dominated the offensive glass, Milan didn’t allow any field goal for the next three minutes. Baron and Melli kept Milan rolling on the offensive end, and Napier came up big with a three to close the first half. Thanks to that triple, Milan had flipped the script to take a 39-36 advantage into the break.

The hosts improved their defensive performance even more after the break, suffocating Barcelona’s shooters, while Napier continued to shine on offense as Milan began to take control, 49-41. Things got worse for the guests when Laprovittola had to leave the court with 4 fouls, although Cory Higgins took over with 5 points in a row to keep Barca into the game, 49-46, midway through the third period. Higgins’s buckets prove to be the last ones for Barca from then on, though, as Milan only allowed 2 free throws until the end of the quarter. That allowed the Italian side to take a double-digit lead, 58-48, into the final quarter.

Barca tried to swing the momentum in its favor by playing with no true playmaker at the beginning of the last period, but Pangos punished the visitors with a three to make it 61-50. With Jan Vesely as the only effective weapon on offense, Barca faded away step by step, while Milan finally found some steady scoring through Napier and Baron. A three by the latter and a couple of free throws by Brandon Davies extended the margin to 75-58 with still four minutes to play, effectively sealing the outcome and allowing Milan to coast to a 84-76 triumph.
