After a minute break, Bojanas Dubljevičius lost from distance, but Louis Labeyrie bounced the ball on attack and led to a penalty – 73:76.
In the next attack, Branko Lažičius inadvertently attacked the basket from the three-point zone, Davidovac caught the ball from under the opponents basket and Loydas had another chance but missed.
The Valencia team had 19 seconds to respond, but in the end Clement Prepelius made a mistake and the hosts triumphed – 76:73.
