Cantu had 10-point lead at the beginning of the last quarter and Maccabi closed the gap to four few minutes later. Richard Hendrix denied Giorgi Shermadini once more, so Cantu went to the bench for Marconato, who scored to make it 72-66. Mallet tried a triple that went in and out and instead Gianluca Basile nailed his fourth three to swing the pendulum back to Cantu, 75-68.
