Basketball: Hall saves Milan against Brindisi, Sassari falls in Treviso

Milan imitates Bologna and Tortona, victorious in the advances, and remains firmly at the top of the Serie A standings with full points. The Messina team, however, trembled against Brindisi, bent (83-82) only thanks to a triple from Hall on the siren. Trento also smiles as he wins in the sprint in Varese (91-94) after extra time. 18 points each for Spaniard, Flaccadori and Atkins with the Eagles inaccurate by 3 (6/29) but unsurpassed in rebounding (49). Caruso’s 20 points are not enough for Varese. At the end of the overtime he decides a triple from Grazulis.
