From defense to offensive fluidity, everyone scores in De Raffaele’s orchestra (29-19). Cedevita remains entangled for a long time in the grip of Umana (42-23), Pullen and Ejim try to bring the “greens” back to the surface (42-28), but collect Tonut’s triple final (45-28). Olimpija changes pace in the third quarter after having sunk again at -19 (47-28), Blazic and Muric are transformed into impregnable goblins, Umana sees Banco’s “ghosts” again, third quarter in Olimpija’s hands, who gnaws a point on point, reopening the challenge (55-52). Pullen impacts (55-55), but Umana is present, solid, does not disunite, Daye breaks the balance, Ljubljana slips away (69-61). When a turnover is whistled against Pullen, coach Golemac remedies a double technical with expulsion, Tonut transforms the free throws (71-61). Vitali replies to Pullen from the arc (74-64), Watt puts the seal on the match by recovering the ball on the throw-in missed by Ljubljana (76-68).
