What was expected before the game
This is how the game was decided.
The game was not decided in the closing minutes: Bahcesehir went ahead for good in minute 2, with a two-pointer by Isiaha Mike for 4-2, and never gave up the lead.
Five minutes from the end the score was Balkan 51-88 Bahcesehir. From there the lead never changed hands and the game was never tied.
The biggest run was a 15-0 by Bahcesehir between minutes 18 and 22, from 42-21 to 57-21. The best run by Balkan was a 6-0 between minutes 32 and 34.
Aleksa Avramovic decided it as the Bahcesehir player with the most points: 15 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and a PIR of 17.
▸See where these figures come from
I count as the game-winner the basket that puts the winning team ahead for good, and as a run the consecutive points by one team without the opponent scoring. The player who decided it is the winner's top scorer in the box score; on a tie, the one with the higher PIR.

Each bar is a stint on the floor according to the official EuroCup play-by-play. The source logs each substitution by its minute, not its second, so the edge of a bar can shift by up to a minute. The number is the minutes in the box score and the team's +/− with him on the court.
