No game at the Mediolanum Forum in Assago. Ettore Messina’s team dominates Reyer Venezia from the duo ball, touching +35 in the fourth quarter, saying 70-7 after 20 minutes, and launching the young Leoni and Rapetti in the final.
Forum delirious, for Pippo Ricci of course, but also for Dinos Mitoglou, for which the title of mvp is requested. For Reyer Venezia a very severe lesson, which cannot be explained by the ailments of the various Daye and Charalampopoulos, or the absence of the last hour of Michele Vitali.
