Gdynia was more active at the beginning of the game – leading by nine points after Bryce Alford and Adrian Bogutski's back-to-back shots. Josh Price, on the other hand, tried to turn things around. Later Andrzej Pluta, returning from injury, joined the attack – after his three-pointer, the difference increased to 12 points! Finally, after 10 minutes it was 26:16. Seth Leday was very useful in the second quarter and maintained a big lead for Arka National Food Group. After his three-pointer, he was already 15 points better. The weakened Tauron GTK had big problems in the competition. Only Kadre Gray's late goals gave hope to this team. After Price's 2+1 game, they were only losing by four points! Finally, thanks to Grzegorz Kaminski's three-pointer, the first half ended with a score of 48:41.
