Olimpia Milano wins Game 3 of the 2024 LBA Playoffs against L’Aquila Trento and regains home field advantage. The Milanese team approached the match badly, struggling tremendously in attack in the first quarter, in a totally different match compared to the first two in the series. As the minutes passed, the Milanese attack found a lot from Hines who gave the first shock to his team, followed by Napier, on one of the evenings in which he was inspired. In the second half the Milanese team played a solid match, finding the advantage and never giving Trento the chance to come back into contact once they reached the double-digit lead. EA7 Emporio Armani Milano takes the lead at 2-1 and will have the chance to close the series on Sunday, again in Trento, in Game 4.
