Olimpia Milano-Virtus Bologna result match 5 of the championship final: ends 79-72 – Corriere.it

Milan imposes the law of muscles and leads to a victory from the 30th championship. The team from Messina rules the Virtus Bologna and takes it to 3-2 by capitalizing on the field factor. Tomorrow at the Segafredo Arena the first tricolor match-ball, in the event of a further tie, everything will be played in the heat of Friday in Assago. Olimpia’s success still bears the signature of Shavon Shields, top scorer at 22 points with 9/16 shooting. The Dane from Kansas City rejects the Bolognese comeback with 9 points in the last quarter from minus 13 of the 25′ to minus 2 of the 35′ signed by the darts of Belinelli (17), and closes the match with a safety basket of 76-70 at minus 1’15”. But after four matches lived on the alternating wave of 3 percentages, EA7 builds the victory thanks to solutions inside the area and constant rebounding dominance.

Shields and Melli drag Milan

The 40-26 of the duel under the scoreboards was decisive, which hides the 6/20 from 3 thanks to a series of decisive second shots. On the contrary, 6/23 from the fatal bow to Virtus, which squeezes so much energy from Cordier (14) ed Hackett (12) but very little star quality Shengelia (2 with 1/7 shooting) e Theodosic (0/6 from 3 and minus 8 evaluation in 16′). The outcome of the battle under the scoreboards thus rewards a Milan driven by the solidity of the captain Melli (13 and 12 rebounds), but Paul’s contribution was decisive in the final Biligha.

The 12 minutes of sacrifice of Kyle Hines, preferred to Davies despite the pain in his left shoulder, are useful to the cause of Milan. But in the final 15′, the defensive impact of the 33-year-old blue pivot was a fundamental joker to give EA7 the first Italian match-ball.
