The AX Milano asserts the home factor, in the pit of the Forum they defeat Segafredo Bologna 94-82 and, also thanks to a sublime Melli (22 in 19 ', with the usual masterful defense), goes 2-1 in the final Scudetto .
A game with a very different script than the first two, with very high percentages and more game in transition, but with the same intensity and the same degree of physicality.
It is a long and balanced series, between two top-level teams, destined to grant new emotions.
In front of the two patrons, Giorgio Armani and Massimo Zanetti, Milan starts strong, charged by 12 thousand spectators, strictly in red, of a truly incandescent Forum: Olimpia scores 8 of the first 9 pitches and, led by Shields (19), goes on 19-10 after 5 '.
Bologna, even under 11 (14-25), shakes and reacts with arrogance with a partial of 20-6 which guarantees the first advantage.
The rings of Melli, despite the problems of fouls, relaunch Milan that closes 48-45 at the interval.
The blue captain continues to grind baskets in the second half but the break for the new +11 digs Grant with 7 consecutive points (to which he will add another 7 in the last fraction).
Hackett (18), Teodosic (14) and Belinelli (14) try to make up for the disadvantage but Milan remains in control and returns to the top in the series,
