6.5 RUSSELL Arrembante match of the American playmaker who for the whole match is a thorn in the side of the opponents. Too bad for the two free mistakes in the final, amply compensated by three recoveries.
7 BORTOLANI Another full booty for the young Sicilian who is good at being ready on the cues of his teammates, converting them into three and even four-point games.
5.5 CASARIN The will is there, the nerve as well. Sometimes he runs out of steam for excess of enthusiasm, but he also works magic like the assist for Bortolani in the last quarter. He comes out for five fouls.
5.5 CHILLO He enters the first quarter and sticks to the dreaded Evans, nullifying him. Unfortunately he falls into the trap of fouls: five in ten minutes of play.
8 SIMS TvB has its own totem, that’s for sure. Sumptuous performance, 23 points, 13 rebounds, three 3-point games successfully completed. And three blocks that send Palaverde into raptures.
7 SOKOLOWSKI It does everything, and more. He defends, scores, fans science fiction assists (Bortolani thanks him) and in the end he dives to the ground to steal a platinum ball.
6 MSA The first two quarters are really insufficient, in the second half he immediately lights up with a triple and offers a good contribution also in defense. He can certainly do better at shooting (4/13).
6.5 JONES Two fouls in three minutes at the start and an unconvincing first half of the match. Much better in the second half where he earns his loaf with defensive aids and a dunk of his own.
6.5 AKELE Bad at first on Evans, it grows as the minutes go by. From the arc it is not accurate (1/5), but overall the sufficiency is full.
6.5 LOST First half of a complex match, in the locker room he finds the right key to spur his team on and in the second half we see the real TvB. There is only one step to get to the dream.
