This is how the game was decided.
The game was not decided in the closing minutes: Besiktas went ahead for good in minute 21, with a three-pointer by Anthony Brown for 40-39, and never gave up the lead.
Five minutes from the end the score was Besiktas 77-65 Bahcesehir. From there the lead never changed hands and the game was never tied.
The biggest run was a 10-0 by Besiktas between minutes 20 and 23, from 35-39 to 45-39. The best run by Bahcesehir was a 9-0 between minutes 3 and 5.
Jonah Mathews decided it as the Besiktas player with the most points: 21 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and a PIR of 21.
▸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.
