VALENCIA BASKET-VIRTUS SEGAFREDO BOLOGNA 83-77 (24-17, 40-38; 52-63)
A Virtus definitely solid, but the victory took Valencia. Without Teodosic and Herve i the bianconeri have made a great game, resisting the initial rant of the opponents, and leading to +11 with a third quarter from 25-12, really good for defensive application and attack. In the last quarter, however, the hosts came back under, also helped by a remarkable boiata of Sampson – who with a double fault, the second unsportsmanlike, gave Prepelic 4 free and the triple for a 7-0 in a few seconds. Despite this the final was point to point, but the Bianconeri attack was totally blocked against the opponent’s physicality, in particular against Rivero who made the void under the basket. Two numbers that can be interesting to compare are 41-32 on rebounding, and also 28-5 on free throws.
