The home team secured the win after a nail-biting overtime period, surviving a strong offensive performance from the visiting green-and-black squad. Jean Montero was instrumental, taking responsibility in crucial moments with 27 points, 8 assists, and a valuation of 31, sinking the game-deciding free throws. Kameron Taylor and Jaime Pradilla also delivered key performances.

Despite an outstanding game from Ricky Rubio (22 points, 11 assists) and Joventut's perimeter shooting led by Cameron Hunt and Jabari Parker, Valencia's resilience prevailed. The game began with a setback for Valencia Basket as Matt Reuvers left with an ankle injury shortly after entering the court.

An offensive festival took over the Roig Arena in the second quarter, with a constant exchange of blows. Joventut went into halftime with a slight lead (51-54) thanks to an impressive 10-of-14 three-pointers. The parity continued after the break, with Montero closing the third quarter with a 2+1 play to give Valencia Basket a narrow lead (79-78).

In the final quarter, Joventut established an eight-point lead (83-91) with just over six minutes remaining. However, Valencia Basket's competitive spirit emerged. A monumental three-pointer by Jaime Pradilla with seconds left tied the game at 105, forcing overtime.

In the extra period, Jean Montero took absolute command, scoring the decisive free throws for the final 118-117 score. Cameron Hunt's last-second shot missed its mark, securing the home victory. Valencia Basket now leads the series 1-0.
