ASK Riga had a 7 point lead with only a minute to go in the final quarter. Seemed like the game was over, but Rock made a late run and after Kullamaes three-pointer, the lead was cut to one - 66:67.

With 16 seconds left, Kullamae fouled against Broyles who made only one of his two free-throws, giving ASK a two point lead.

Rock quickly brought the ball over and Tsintsadze was able ta get an easy lay-up and tie the game - 68:68.
As usual, Millage took the responsibility. He drove under the basket but missed the shot over hands of Cusworth. Somehow the ball bounced back to Millage and from an unbelievable horizontal position he put the ball where it belonged.

Rock started well and behind Janar Talts and Tanel Tein, was able to take an early 10:5 lead. Riga quickly answered with 13:2 run and won the first quarter 16:18.

During the entire second quarter Rock only finished three attacks and in the middle of the quarter ASK ran ahead - 20:29. Still, good defensive play from home team never let the guests too far away and Rock was trailing by 7 after the first half - 25:32.

After the break, Tartu's game improved and behind the shots by Tsintsadze and Talts, Rock was able to cut the deficit to a lone point - 33:34. Still, the visitors were able to get back in front and after three quarters Rock was behind - 44:48.

In the final quarter Rock had a chance to win but Millage and ASK Riga had much better connections with Lady Fortuna and held on.

Janar Talts was the leading scorer of the game wit 18 points (7 rebounds, 4 steals), Tein added 15 (5 assists) and Tsintsadze 13.
Curtis Millage lead his team with 14 points, Aaron Bramletthad 13 ( 9 rebounds).
