The visitors closed the gap to 7 as the first quarter finished but in the second another 9-0 run gave the hosts a 14-point edge. They continued to control the game after that and as the first half ended the difference was 10.

After the break the home side managed to keep up its good lead as Beroe missed a lot of shots and made some mistakes. With a 6-0 run Teuta went up by 15 points which was the most in the game as until the third quarter ended the difference went down by just 2 to 13. 

In the first minutes of the final quarter the margin was in the same range but the visitors didn′t stop fighting. They went on a 10-0 run to close the gap to just 5 and give themselves a chance. The run was stopped when Lasku scored one free throw but The Greens were in a good moment and had two shots to tie the game but Frankamp missed both.
