The race
–
After some initial equilibrium, Milan opens by pulling very well from 3 (4/5) with two shots from Daniels to sign. Tortona struggles in attack, suffers too much (19 points after 6 ‘), he is already behind in double figures at the end of the first quarter (25-13). The race from now on sees many errors, also and above all by the Ax who in the second half scored only 16, undergoing 20, for a 41-33 of the long interval where Delaney and Daniels are at 8, while in the team of Ramondino there are 14 points of Macura and 8 of Mascolo. The production of points drops again at the end of the third half: they will be 12, against 14 of the Piedmontese who at 28 ‘also find -2 (48-45). The 53-47 at the end of the quarter could make us think of a reopened match, but it is immediately clear that this is not the case because the initial 6-0 of Olimpia in 1’49 “leads to +12 (59-47) which then leads to 70 -52 of the 35 ‘(two triples in a row by Rodriguez and Datome) manage without worries the remaining minutes with Melli who enriches the personal score sheet by closing as the best scorer of his team.
Milan: Melli 14, Hall 12, Delaney 10
Tortona: Macura 17, Filloy 12, Mascolo 11
