With a lineup of Arroyo, Mensah-Bonsu, Erceg, Hawkins, Morrison, the Eagles hit nothing but the rim tin opening quarter and fell behind 20-13 going into the second. Despite getting out-rebounded at both ends, the Black and Whites started shooting better in the second stanza yet still trailed 38-31 at the intermission.   
 
With a tightened up defence, Beşiktaş Milangaz managed to pull within 51-47 after three quarters and then tied the game at 70-70 on a layup by Mensah-Bonsu with 45 seconds left to play but came empty-handed on their last possession to suffer a narrow loss.
