Virtus relaunches after two knockouts, bringing home a very precious success in terms of the playoffs
Another sensational comeback for Virtus, who relaunched after two knockouts in a row in the Euroleague. Bologna wins 88-84, bringing home a very precious success in terms of the playoffs. Belinelli and Lundberg were decisive (both 20 points), as well as Abass. Shengelia is also seen again. 22 points from Punter are not enough for Obradovic. Segafredo regains third place in the standings.
so much physicality
—
Complicated start for Virtus, Partizan puts a lot of intensity in defense and finds Avramovic with the hot hand (2/3 from 3). The match gets “dirty” early, as soon as Bologna equalizes the physicality of the Serbs. Belinelli starts with 8 points. At 10′ it was 19 all. The script does not change in the second quarter, but the Black Vs raise the defensive level and concede just 12 points to their opponents in the second quarter. The tug of war continues and at the long break Bologna is ahead 35-31.
point to point
—
At the start of the second half Belinelli (with 10 points) does the general rehearsal for the escape of Virtus (which also reaches +12), but Obradovic’s team doesn’t give up. Avramovic’s energy and Punter’s talent (with a 4-point game) put Partizan back on track: 62-58 for Segafredo in the 30th minute. Nunnally (with 11 points) and Dozier try to give the Serbs a decisive escape. However, at the end, Virtus, down by six points, relied on Cordinier, who equalized the score. Yet another triple at the end of the season by Lundberg and the 2/2, also with a decisive steal by Abass, gave Virtus a fundamental victory.
V. Bologna: 20 Belinelli, 20 Lundberg, 12 Cordinier
Partizan: 22 Punter, 18 Nunnally, 16 Avramovic
