Fifty points overall for the pair of Shields (27) and Mirotic (23) and EA7 Milan wins a prestigious scalp, defeating Real Madrid (81-76). However, it seems late to cultivate post-season ambitions given that tenth place remains distant.
It’s a first half bordering on perfection that channels the match. Milan – which before the match presented the ‘One Team’ project in collaboration with the Laureus Sport for Good Italia Foundation – gained a 19-point lead (48-29) at half-time and managed to manage the return of the reigning European champions with a battle recovery: Real also comes back to -3 in the final, but two baskets from Mirotic repel the assault from Musa (12), Hezonja (11) and Deck (10).
