VEF Riga outrebounded Betsafe 43-27 including a 31-20 advantage in defensive rebounds. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 27 assists. American guard Antwan Scott (185-92, college: Colorado St.) scored 9 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists to lead the charge for the winners and international Rolands Freimanis (208-88, agency: Alti Sport) chipped in 16 points and 6 rebounds during the contest.

The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
