The final score was 82-77 for Gaziantep after a game that was decided during the last quarter although the local team had built some seemingly safe double-digit leads.

The Italian side never gave up and, despite the fact that they were down 15 points. They managed to reduce the deficit to 2 points and put themselves in a position to win with a couple of minutes remaining, led by Justin Edwards (18 points) and Arnoldas Kulboka (12 points and 13 boards).

The stars: Jure Balazic dropped 23 points, while his teammate Mark Lyons had 18. Victor Rudd and D.J. White didn’t help a lot, as they combined for 2/15 from the field.

The key: Sean Armand was very focused when his team needed him the most.
