Kamppailu ratkesi vasta viimeisellä minuutilla. Neljä edellistä otteluaan voittanut Utah teki viisi pistettä peräkkäin ja nousi tasoihin lukemissa 87-87. Milwaukeen turkkilaispelaaja Ersan Ilyasova laittoi kuitenkin ratkaisevan korin sisään 27 sekuntia ennen summeria ja Bucks sinetöi voittonsa lopussa vapaaheittoviivalta.

Milwaukeen tehokkaimpia olivat takamiehet John Salmons ja Brandon Jennings. Salmons heitti 24 ja Jennings 23 pistettä. Australialaissenttri Andrew Bogut saalisti 16 pistettä ja 12 levypalloa.

Utahin ja koko parketin ahneimpana kunnostautui Carlos Boozer, joka keräsi 26 pistettä ja 14 levypalloa. Turkkilaissentteri Mehmet Okurin vastaavat lukemat olivat 20 ja 11. Jazz heitti kamppailussa kaikki 10 kolmosyritystään ohi.
