What was expected before the game
This is how the game was decided.
The game was not decided in the closing minutes: Valencia went ahead for good in minute 33, with a three-pointer by Nikola Mirotic for 84-81, and never gave up the lead.
Five minutes from the end the score was LDLC ASVEL 83-87 Valencia. From there the lead never changed hands and the game was never tied.
The biggest run was a 11-0 by Valencia between minutes 19 and 22, from 44-61 to 55-61. The best run by LDLC ASVEL was a 8-0 between minutes 6 and 8.
Nikola Mirotic decided it as the Valencia player with the most points: 22 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and a PIR of 24.
▸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.
