The game turned after Racing briefly moved in front at 12-11. Ronny Schanen's team answered with 10 straight points to close the first quarter, then extended that surge to 18 unanswered across the break for a 29-12 lead early in the second period. That was the first major swing of the afternoon. Racing settled afterwards and reduced the gap to 44-33 at halftime, largely through 15-year-old Diego Barragan de Mateo (RACB), who finished with 28 points.
