Fortitudo Bologna takes full spoils at PalaDozza and therefore goes 2-0 in the series against Treviglio.
A match that lasted just half the first quarter, then coach Attilio Caja’s men took off and the Lombards could do nothing but look at the Bolognese plaque.
The move and escape are the result of an excellent team spirit, in particular – as has often happened this season – thanks to the men of the starting quintet.
So the match went along the lines of the first match of the series and like the match the day before yesterday the key element was Mark Ogden.
The white and blue number 35 is confirmed as out of category, the extra element, the one that is missing from almost all A2 teams.
In 27 minutes the American power forward scored 15 points (5/8 from twos, he argued with the three-iron, 1/6 and 2/2 from free throws). He also adds 4 rebounds, a steal, an assist and 5 fouls suffered for a good 19 rating.
Ogden is the energizer, the gas of the Fortitudo Bologna of the 2023/24 version: a great discovery, a real market coup that came from the Romanian championship (Oradea) without too many trumpets but which proved decisive for Attilio Caja.
Now Ogden is enjoying Effe and will continue to do so from Friday, almost game 3 will be played but the series will move to the PalaFacchetti parquet.
