After trailing by as much as 14 points in the first half, OTE came out firing in the second half, putting together an 11-0 run to open the fourth quarter that carried them to their first win at the tournament. After FC Barcelona won their first game of the tournament by 72 points, it was the energy and cohesiveness of the OTE group that pushed the squad to their upset victory

Adam Oumiddoch was a man on a mission, scoring 26 points, a team-high, and any time FC Barcelona made a run it was Oumiddoch who rallied the team back into a position to win. Parker Robinson had an impressive game of his own, scoring 21 points on 4-of-6 shooting from deep as he also showed off his improved strength on defense throughout the game. Marcis Ponder was the lone OTE player to record a double-double, logging ten points and ten boards as he established himself as a dominant presence in the paint
