AEK got a +9 margin in the beginning of the third quarter (39-30), but after the first minutes, PAOK seemed to 'wake up' and went ahead in the score (43-46) for the first time after the first quarter, closing the third one at +2 (45-47).

PAOK made the score 45-50 in the beginning of the fourth quarter thanks to a three by Phil Goss, but quickly received a partial 5-0, which tied the game 50-50.
