What was expected before the game
This is how the game was decided.
The game was not decided in the closing minutes: FC Barcelona went ahead for good in minute 4, with a two-pointer by Olek Balcerowski for 9-8, and never gave up the lead.
Five minutes from the end the score was Besiktas 73-83 FC Barcelona. From there the lead never changed hands and the game was never tied.
The biggest run was a 13-0 by FC Barcelona between minutes 4 and 8, from 7-8 to 20-8. The best run by Besiktas was a 6-0 between minutes 34 and 35.
Kevin Punter decided it as the FC Barcelona player with the most points: 16 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and a PIR of 19.
▸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.
