Givova Scafati surrenders to the Milan giant

The difference in value between the two teams decided the challenge between EA7 Emporio Armani Milan e Givova Scafati in the match valid for the third to last round of the top Italian championship. At the Forum in Assago it ended 99-77 at the end of a match in which the hosts are
always ahead in the score, they led the hostilities and never gave the impression of being able to lose the reins of the match, despite the heavy absences due to injury of Baron, Mirotic, Lo e Hall. The greater defensive intensity and the superior game organization ultimately made the difference, while from a statistical point of view the dominance under the boards (33 rebounds against 21), the greater number of recovered balls (11 against 7), the lower number of turnovers (13 against 19) and the superior shooting percentages, especially on free throws (88% against 17%), have dug the furrow and also justified the deficit with which the match ended.

To the superlative tests of the Milanese Shields e Napier (20 and 18 points) were counterbalanced by the good performances of Henry e Pinkins (20 and 16 points), which however were not enough to keep a match in balance, whose balance began to tip in favor of the locals from the first half.
