AEK Athens began the final with more success and this allowed them to dominate the first minutes (14-24), but from here the second quarter was fatal for the Greeks, with St. Paul dominating each and every action, which allowed them to reach the break with a clear (49-36) and a clearer (68-49) 10 minutes to go.
