Game
The number that decided this had nothing to do with shooting. Zalgiris went 25-of-30 from the free throw line to Partizan's 13-of-16, turning trips to the rim into easy points all night. Add a 7:31 scoreless stretch imposed on Partizan, nearly double what they forced back, and the seven-point margin writes itself. Jonas Valanciunas anchored it with 16 points and a game-high 25 PIR.
