At the beginning of the second quarter Barca jumped to plus 5 and later to 28-34, but was not able to keep that lead. The teams exchanged baskets and Klimavicius drained a buzzer-beating corner triple fixing the HT score to 38-41. Third period was the crucial one in this game. Vazquez, Grimau and Pete Mickeal shined for the guests lifting them to first double-digit lead, 38-48. That is exactly how much Barca had after 30 minutes of play, 53-63. Until the end visitors touched plus 14, but Zalgiris managed to treat seriously coming to 68-70 with 2:30 left. Lorbek and Rubio then stepped up for Barca helping it to grab valuable road win.
