Basketball, match-2 final scudetto: Virtus Bologna-Milan 75-68

One by one, that’s right. Bologna plays better than game-1, finds a Euroleague-sized Shengelia, while Milan pays for fatigue after a great career start: ends 75-68. We were talking about the first 4 minutes, all of the Olimpia brand: 4-13, with Virtus losing an infinity of balls. But Scariolo’s team (with Hackett forced to go out due to a blow to the ankle, he will come back later) has the ability not to throw himself down, he moves the ball a lot, he is more present in rebound. In short, the -6 at the end of the first quarter is just fine, it means that the game is all to be played.

Point by point

—

And so it will be: Segafredo wins the next three quarters, but after the 38 all-time interval, the Georgian Shengelia gives it to the evening. Nobody is able to stop him, he scores from every position, Milan feels the blow (-7 on 53-46) but returns with Shields and a superb Datome: 55-54 before a last quarter which is always point to point, up to 0/2 by Hines from the 37 ‘line which sounds a bit like a condemnation. Pajola scores and scores, tow (even if he is whistled with a non-existent foul), in short Bologna put the nose in front with the usual immense Shengelia: 75-68, now Sunday we go to the Forum for game-3.

Bologna: Shengelia 22, Jaiteh 11, Belinelli 10
