Gregory Stempin paced the winners with 26 points, Cordell Henry had 18 and Ben Reed 11. Larry Jon Smith had 17 points for Porto while Paulo Cunha and Nuno Marcal each added 15. Porto led 62-53 after three quarters but Ovarense improved its defense when it mattered. A 2-18 run that Henry capped with a basket gave Ovarense a 66-71 lead with 4 minutes to go. Porto did not recovered, as Stempin and Reed had Ovarense to a big win in come-from-behind fashion. Benfica dropped to 17-5 due to a 70-66 road loss against Lusitania Angra PM. Willie Taylor led the winners with 19 points while Graham Brown had 15 for Lusitania.
