Despite Dusan Alimpijevic's team knowing they needed a win and playing with immense desire, Fenerbahçe proved to be too formidable an opponent for the "Super Eagles." In a fiercely contested match, the Serbian coach's squad held a double-digit lead, but ultimately it was in vain as the "Canaries" once again brought the championship trophy back to their side of Istanbul.

Beşiktaş had established a double-digit advantage, but it was squandered rather easily in the second half. Mikael Jantunen's three-pointer tied the game at 54-54, and from that moment, things began to unravel for the home side.

The tension escalated further in the fourth quarter, with Tarik Biberović sinking a crucial three-pointer for Fenerbahçe with just four seconds left on the clock. The home team failed to score for over a minute in the final period, a lapse that ultimately paved the way for their defeat.

Wade Baldwin scored 21 points, and Biberović followed with 17. On the opposing side, Yiğit Arslan had 19 points, with Devon Dotson adding 15.
