Olimpia Milano defeated in Game 1 by the Efes Turks

European champion Efes wins game 1 in the Euroleague playoffs and immediately snatches the advantage of the home factor from Olimpia, winning 64-48. Milan played a courageous game, probably flawless from a defensive point of view because it held an attack of 83 points per game twenty below average, but never found continuity in shooting and this frustrated his ambitions. He had the inertia of the game in the first quarter, when he also took a six-point lead, but in the second half the difference in terms of accuracy was clear.
