What was expected before the game
This is how the game was decided.
The game was not decided in the closing minutes: Crvena Zvezda went ahead for good in minute 13, with a three-pointer by Jared Butler for 24-23, and never gave up the lead.
Five minutes from the end the score was Dubai 54-64 Crvena Zvezda. From there the lead never changed hands and the game was never tied.
The biggest run was a 14-0 by Crvena Zvezda between minutes 35 and 39, from 63-54 to 77-54. The best run by Dubai was a 9-0 between minutes 2 and 3.
Jordan Nwora decided it as the Crvena Zvezda player with the most points: 20 points, 6 rebounds, 0 assists 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.

The rotation of this game is not shown because the play-by-play leaves a team without five players on the floor at some point.
