However, the Milanese reaction was not long in coming: three close-range bombs by Datome, Rodriguez and Delaney (for him also do it immediately and free convert) gave birth to the break of 10-0 that moved the inertia of the match towards Olimpia who then continued to ride the wave of a demon-possessed Delaney (17 points in the first 20 ‘) to return to the locker room at +10 (40-50). Back on the parquet, the Milanese continued to run reaching the pinnacle of their evening with LeDay’s dunk for the 42-55, but Bayern did not give up and tried already in the third fraction the comeback, blocked, from the table triple and at the sound of the siren of Shields, worth 63-71 with 10 ‘from the end.
When the course of the match seemed to be able to return downhill for Messina’s men, however, the final change of pace of the hosts arrived who, dragged by Zipser, gradually eroded all the advantage of Milan, putting the arrow with the 80-79 jumper signed by Reynolds. Cornered, Milan once again found the strength to react by returning to +2 thanks to Delaney e missing even the +4 due to a very doubtful attacking foul whistled against Shields.
