Baskonia became the first team to win a playoffs game on the road since the format retur They did it right away, in the first opportunity it had, but also won in overwhelming fashion, downing Benetton 59-98 at PalaVerde.

Baskonia forward Luis Scola was unstoppable all game long, finishing Game 1 against Benetton with 34 points on 15-of-16 two-point shooting and 4-of-4 free throws. It remains a playoffs record for most two-point shots made in a EuroLeague game, and it is an all-time EuroLeague record for most two-pointers in a non-overtime game.
