20.35 Milan won, dominating, race-1, imposing itself with a clear 95-72, led by Johannes Voigtmann, author of 22 points.

20.30 Good evening everyone and welcome to the live broadcast of Olimpia Milano-Sassari, a match valid as game-2 of the semi-finals of the basketball Serie A.

Good afternoon to all OA Sport readers, and welcome to the LIVE LIVE of the match between Olimpia Milano and Dinamo Sassari, valid as game-2 of the semi-finals of the basketball Serie A, with tap-off at 21.00..

It starts again from 1-0 for Milan, but above all it starts again from a 95-72 gained at the end of a match where Ettore Messina’s boys dominated right from the tap-off. Led by a possessed Johannes Voigtmann, the Milanese immediately dug a furrow that Sassari was unable to mend, quite the contrary. But Messina and his friends are well aware of game-3 with Pesaro, which arrived after two dominated games at the Forum, and this time Melli and his companions will have to maintain the concentration and intensity of game-1 to go to Sassari already with the match point.

On the other hand, Bucchi’s team must quickly find a solution to the dominance of their opponents to try to reopen a series that seems already marked. Because Saturday’s clear victory is a copy of the seasonal challenges between the two teams, with Sassari never finding a solution against Olimpia’s defence, scoring very little on all the occasions they had. Limiting the shooters in Milan, lethal on Saturday, and finding more incisive attacks is essential to at least try to make the challenge balanced.

The challenge between Milan and Sassari will start at 21.00. Have fun with the LIVE LIVE of OA Sport!
