A game on your nerves. Already in the first half Hackett and Matthews had been punished with a double technical after brawling. There were also hot spirits in the stands with two fans coming to blows. Bad scenes: a child wearing Teodisic's tank top bursts into tears in fear. Milan also reaches +15 (41-26) but Virtus reacts and goes back down before the interval, up to -4 (45-41), and from then on the balance reigns supreme: Bologna finds the overtaking (66-67) with a volley from Bello. The ending is entropic, without a common thread.
Diarra (15 and 7 rebounds) equalized with 4'' remaining. It all seems destined for overtime. Instead, Hall wins: Milan's last seven points bear his signature, the decisive basket is just the icing.
