What was expected before the game
This is how the game was decided.
The game was not decided in the closing minutes: U-BT Cluj went ahead for good in minute 25, with a three-pointer by Jalyn Mc Creary for 54-53, and never gave up the lead.
Five minutes from the end the score was Siauliai 67-82 U-BT Cluj. From there the lead never changed hands and the game was never tied.
The biggest run was a 10-0 by Siauliai between minutes 4 and 7, from 4-11 to 14-11. The best run by U-BT Cluj was a 7-0 between minutes 35 and 36.
Javonte Smart decided it as the U-BT Cluj player with the most points: 20 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists 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.
