Virtus Bologna, taking advantage of Valencia's lack of initial success from the perimeter, managed to take the first advantages. However, the Spanish team demonstrated its resilience and reaction capacity. In a period of almost five minutes where the Italians dried up offensively, Valencia Basket unleashed its best weapon: the triple.

Nate Reuvers became the absolute protagonist of this streak, scoring three consecutive triples that catapulted his team. A partial of 2-13 turned the score around, leaving the taronja with a slight advantage of 18-22 at the end of the first quarter, after a basket by Neal Sako.

The second quarter saw a slowing down of the pace of playwhich benefited Virtus Bologna to try to get back into the game. Carsen Edwards, the Italians' main offensive threat, led this reaction. A series of easy baskets awarded and a more erratic Valencia Basket in decision-making and shooting allowed Virtus to establish its maximum advantage until that moment.
