The start of the race at the forum is characterized by attacks. Milan, which finds different solutions to move the retina, exploiting the penetration lines granted by the defense of Cremona and making itself dangerous from the arch. In the first 10 ‘they stand out, by offensive turnover, Brooks and Tonut. Vanoli benefits from Willis’ warm hands. The EA7 tries to give the first real tear to the game, between the end of the first and the beginning of the second quarter, with the number 12 of Messina that continues its great evening (17 points at 20 ‘), helped by the growth of Leday and a good entry of Bortolani. The Olimpia even seems to be able to archive the practice in the first half, flying on +19, but the men of Brotto react with Davis, who stings from the arch and triggers Nikolic and Owens. Tonut returns the hosts in a double amount of advantage at the interval: 54-43.
