A tight opening quarter saw Beşiktaş Milangaz leading 27-24, but host Mersin came back to tie the game at 29-29 with the start of the second. Teams exchanged baskets from there onwards before a Deron Williams three-pointer ignited a late Beşiktaş rally that helped the Black Eagles into a double-digit 51-38 lead at the break.  
 
In the second half, with a flurry of jumpers from all angles, David Hawkins and Zoran Erceg got into the act as the Black Eagles took full control and cruised to a convincing 98-82 away victory. Deron Williams finished with a team-high 28 points followed by Hawkins and Erceg who both poured in 18 each.
