Incredible to Trento: Dolomiti Energia wins Race-2 thanks to a sensational basket of Myles Cale just at the end, frustrating the comeback of Milan and drawing the accounts in view of the transition to the forum for race-3 (scheduled for Thursday). The other surprise of the evening comes from Brescia: after dominating in the first episode of the series, Germani must be climbed by an excellent Trieste, we also go here on 1-1. Instead, it continues to convince Trapani, who crushes Reggio Emilia: now the Shark has the opportunity to spend the match point in the home of the Holys. The race-2 picture will close tomorrow, with the challenge between Virtus and Venice.

Trento-Milan 70-67

It is a magic of Myles Cale on the siren that gives Trento the victory in Race-2, with a snapshot that will remain in the history of the playoffs. Galbiati’s team thus equal the series at the end of an intense game, conducted for large parts but won up after they also risk losing it. Because Milan, despite the imprecision to shooting (33% from the field and 28% of 3), reacts to the partials of the Dolomites Energia and draws with a triple of Mirotic, who however misses the layup of overtaking 24 ” from the end. Trento, dragged by Ellis and by the physicality of Niang and Mawugbe, manages to contain the attack of the EA7, who appeared tired conditioned by some ailments, but we get to the last possession on 67 even. After the triple of Ford on the iron, Mirotic takes the rebound but loses the ball sensationally: Cale collects it and lets go of a crazy third half of 3 points, which ends inside making the joy of Galbiati and the newspaper explode.

Trento: Ellis 17, Ford 14, Lamb 11

Milan: Flaccadori 13, Mirotic 13, Leday 11

Trapani-Reggio Emilia 102-88

Despite the excellent defensive start from Emiliano, Trapani has no problems giving to the Palashark and now has the opportunity to close the Serie A Reggio Emilia. The decisive tear materializes in the second half, when Priftis tries to find the winning momentum at the start of the race by raising the quintet. But his technical choice has the opposite effect: the Shark has more opportunities to run and exploits them with Notae, which capitalizes on favorable misery. And when Alibegovic climbs, there is no more history for Unahotels. Shark spreads well beyond the double figure of advantage, making the ending a question of pure formality.

Trapani: Alibegovic 20, Notae 16, Eboua and Rossato 14

Reggio Emilia: Cheatham 15, Barford and Faye 14

Brescia-Trieste 92-103

The burning start of Della Valle seemed an obvious clue that Brescia would have had an easy life even in the second episode of the series, yet Trieste is alive. The merit goes above all to Candussi, who in the second quarter completely overturns the inertia of the match, with the complicity of the Brescia offensive stop. In the second half the number 13 Giuliano is excellently assisted by Uthoff and Ross, a unleashed Ivanovic is not enough for Germani to recover from the double figure of disadvantage, and so Trieste snatches an important victory from the Palaleoness: the series goes to the 1-1.

Brescia: Ivanovic 26, of Valle 22, Ndour, Burnell and Rivers 11

Trieste: Candussi 19, Uthoff 18, Ross and Valentine 13
