After the first quarter Anwil Wloclawek had only six points less than Asseco Prokom Gdynia and everything was foreshadowing an equal game until the last whistle. However, in the second part of the match the hosts were able to speed up the pace of the battle, pass the ball fluently and quickly and score easy baskets so the margin increased into twelve points, 42:30.
When the situation seemed to be so difficult for the guests, it suddenly changed entirely. Nikola Jovanovic was the guy who started shooting triples as Stipe Modric, Lukasz Majewski and D.J. Thompson twice were able to copy him and Anwil cut the lead to only eight, 53:61. The lead would have been smaller if only Daniel Ewing. American guard managed to score four times behind the 6,75 m line in the third quarter and Asseco Prokom were still leading.
Nevertheless, Dardan Berisha woke up at the beginning of the final quarter and when Ewing made some easy baskets, he answered with a triple. And he repeated that in the next action... and in the next... After his third three-pointer Anwil cut the whole lead and build its first margin - 66:65 in the 35th minute. However, it was really the last series of Anwil tonight and the hosts back to the game easily. Filip Videnov made his second and third triple, added two points in low-post as well as Ewing the Polish champion has finally won 80:81.
Daniel Ewing scored 29 points for guests, Filip Videnov made 20 while Nikola Jovanovic answered with 15 for Anwil.
