What was expected before the game
This is how the game was decided.
The game was not decided in the closing minutes: Besiktas went ahead for good in minute 24, with a three-pointer by Scottie Wilbekin for 62-59, and never gave up the lead.
Five minutes from the end the score was Baskonia 73-83 Besiktas. From there the lead never changed hands and the game was never tied.
The biggest run was a 11-0 by Baskonia between minutes 10 and 12, from 17-28 to 28-28. The best run by Besiktas was a 7-0 between minutes 24 and 26.
Scottie Wilbekin decided it as the Besiktas player with the most points: 24 points, 1 rebound, 2 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 EuroLeague 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.
