After a long break, the view on the field was more contrasting: the Unics players who scored with great precision gained a double-digit lead (66:56), and Stefan Markovic got the fourth foul and was forced to sit in the bank. The Russian club finished the third quarter, keeping only part of that lead (73:67).
Later, Virtus constantly attacked opponents from behind, but Jamar Smith’s fourth three-point game five minutes before the game strengthened the guest positions: 85:78. Marco Belinelli dropped five free throws to close the gap, leaving just over a minute in 92:96. Unics then stretched a 24-second attack, which Isaiah Canaan finished with a stab to the hearts almost from midfield.

John Brown was the MVP of the match, scoring 20 points (7/10 colonies, 6/7 free throws) in 34 minutes, bouncing 8 and taking 2 balls, making a pass, scoring once, causing 8 fouls, breaking the rules 3 times and getting 31 utility points.
Throughout the game, Unics maintained a powerful shot from all distances: 57 percent from two-point shots (21/37), 48 percent from three-point shots (14/29) and 92 percent from free throws ( 23/25). Furthermore, Italians who attacked solidly with their opponents failed to even land significantly more penalty shots (32/41, 78 percent).
