Buchanan's threes outweigh Chavaughn Lewis's 24 off the bench

How Slovan Bratislava won the game quarter by quarter

Bratislava won by taking each of the first three quarters, then holding off a late Siroki push. The margins were small each time: 27-26, 23-20 and 22-18.

Siroki never found the run that would turn the game at home. They won the fourth quarter 27-26, but a one-point period could not undo the earlier damage, and the final margin was 7.

Bratislava's free-throw shooting helped them see it out. Trevon Bluiett went 4/4, Niko Bacvic 4/4 and Quincy Ford 5/6 from the line.
