The first 10 minutes of game 2 to forget for Passalacqua Ragusa at the PalaMinardi against Bologna,
Logic would have wanted the green-and-whites to take the field with high morale and the Emilians naturally tense, forced to win.
Instead, for over 6 minutes Ragusa can boast only 2 points from Thomas with Bologna who, after having placed an initial partial of 0-6, continues with another of 0-10 and scores the 2-16 which will influence the entire first half.
Not even Jakubcova’s two consecutive triples changed the situation, it ended at 8-21, +13 for the visiting team.
Just one 2-point achievement was too little for Ragusa.
Thanks to an attentive defense, even in the second half Bologna controls the game, 4 consecutive points from Miccoli try to give the push, but there are too many strange passes, to put it mildly, too many turnovers, after 4 minutes of play Bologna comes close to twenty points ahead, 12-30, +18.
7 free throws made and 5 points by Jakubcova bring Ragusa closer but it still ends at -8 for the hosts, 24-32, partial of the fraction 16-11
Upon returning from the locker rooms there is a show by Zandalasini, Ragusa can do nothing against the shooting precision of the champion, despite Miccoli and Milazzo working hard to limit the damage, after 6 minutes Bologna is ahead by 20 points, 31-51, it ends at 41-59 at +18, with a partial score of 17-27.
Fourth quarter without history, after 5 minutes the lead reaches +29, some three-pointers, including one by Di Fine, don’t even help to contain the disadvantage, it ends with a deficit of 22 points, 59-81, for the last partial 18-22.
The technical gap between the two teams is enormous, the individual personalities are very different, game 1 can be considered a distraction for Bologna, Ragusa can only hope for another bad day for the black Vs, game three on Wednesday 1st May.
Partials 8-21 (8-21), 24-32 (16-11), 41-59 (17-27), 59-81 (18-22)
