Virtus Bologna 75 – Olimpia Milano 86
(19-14, 14-11, 15-29, 20-14, 7-18)
A wild race 1 goes toOlimpia Milan which immediately reversed the field factor in the Scudetto finals. Not a great match, especially in the first part, but damn intense with a rhythm at times crazy. Milan won it by recovering from an offensively terrible first half, in which Messina desperately searched (without finding it) for a quintet capable of building something in attack. At the end of the match Bologna will have a lot to complain about for not having closed a match dominated for 20 minutes, with a super Shengelia to lead his team up to +11.
Milan comes out of the changing rooms with a different face, he risks having to bow to Lanyard but he hits again with 33″ left with a super triple Napier. The Milanese players could complain about the contact between Pajola and their point guard, considered a valid block by the referees. In overtime he gets everyone to agree Shavon Shieldsauthor of three bombs from authentic phenomenon who break their opponents’ legs. Plays that are worth the victory, framed by Hall who takes some glory after a commendable game in the defensive phase. Virtus collapses in extra time and now finds itself with its back against the wall.
