Euroleague: Virtus Bologna wins in Villeurbanne, Belinelli super

Virtus Bologna beats Villeurbanne 77-64 and remains in the running for the playoffs. Bologna, already without Lundberg and Ojeleye, also had to do without Teodosic, struck by a feverish attack. Belinelli (21 points) took care not to make him regret it. The break between the third and fourth periods was decisive and earned the Black Vs +15.

After a good start (2-9), Virtus cashed in a run of 10-0, but immediately got back on track and closed the first quarter up by 7 (14-21) with Weems and Jaiteh in evidence. In the second quarter Belinelli lights up: with 3 triples he widens Virtussino’s advantage, which first reaches +12 (17-29) with a three-point basket from Mannion) and then stabilizes at 10 points, with the former NBA champion arriving at 15. But when Belinelli comes out, Asvel places a 7-0 and goes back to -2 (35-37). At rest he is 37-39. Bako and Jordan at the end of the third period try yet another escape of the V-Blacks (48-55). Yet another triple from Beli and two baskets from Pajola make it 48-63, the maximum outside advantage at the start of the fourth period. For every attempt at an internal comeback, a basket from Belinelli answers. Virtus ends up winning 77-64 with 21 points from Beli.

Soon the complete service
