They led by 5 points after the opening quarter and went on to increase the advantage in the second one, but just before the big break, Helios Suns managed to bounce back and the gap between the two sides was only a point after 20 minutes.

However, Podgorica started the second half strongly and after three consecutive three-pointers by Marko Kovačević, they were already up by 12 points midway through the third quarter. Helios Suns managed to take the game into a thrilling finish again in the final minutes, as they even managed to tie the game, but did not manage to turn it completely upside-down.

In the end, the score was 85:87 in favour of Podgorica squad, after Novak Musić scored a game-winning lay-up with 2 seconds left on the game clock.
