Milan, what a pain: but the trio Rodriguez-Hall-Shields signs the 2-0 on a tenacious Sassari

A very painful 2-0, but the right thing counts for Milan. He counts the double advantage on a very tenacious Sassari, long in the lead of the Forum, really never tame, forced to surrender only for the champion ideas of Rodriguez, Hall and Shields: ends 91-82.

The beginning

—

It starts 7-0 for Olimpia, but then Sassari regroups after the obvious slip, defends better and also finds the advantage over 18-15. Messina’s team will close at 22-18 with a gift from Logan who, two tenths from the siren, makes a stupid foul on Baldasso’s triple: 3/3 which is worth +4 with the strangeness of never having scored by 3 (0 / 4, two wrong triples each for Hall and Datome). At the restart, the first triple in Milan (Hall) is worth 33-26 (+7) in the 16 ‘. It would seem the viaticum for an extension, instead the Sardinians first respond with Bendzius for the immediate -4 (33-29), then Logan is unleashed, very angry for the (second) foul whistled at the end of the previous quarter: two triples, 10 points , 10-0 partial with Sassari going to the long break at 41-49. Only one data to report: Milan 1/8 from three, Sassari 8/16.

Point by point

—

At the resumption of play, the Ax tries to respond to Bendzius’s slings and succeeds well, with Rodriguez impacts on 59, overtakes with a 2 + 1 from Datome, while Sassari still closes ahead of time (68-69). The point-by-point continues in the last 10 ‘, Rodriguez and Hall are joined by Shields, but two minutes from the siren it is always and only Rodriguez who sets the point for the evening with the 89-80 triple. End of the games, ends 91-82. And now we go to Sassari for the first match-ball which is worth the final.
