In the game for third place in the Eurocup, Cedevita defeated hosts Benetton 59:57 (6-12, 15-11, 16-13, 22-19)

The match was poor throughout with both sides unable to find the basket, but the outcome was unpredictable nonetheless.

Cedevita was up 58:54 eighteen seconds before the buzzer, but Benetton closed the gap to 58:57 with a three-point shot. Draper then missed both his free throws, unlike Edwards just moments later who scored one of two.

Markovic attempted a three-point before the buzzer to win it for Benetton. Montiejunas caught the rebound and attempted a shot to tie the game for overtime, but missed the net.

Corsely Edwards was the top scorer with 16 points, Draper was Cedevita's second-highest scorer with 10. Montiejunas and Brunner netted ten points each for Benetton.
