Olimpia Milano: skid against Trapani

Trapani – Now it’s clear to everyone.  Trapani it's really strong. The Armani falls on the Sicilian field in a 40-minute battle lost by 89-81 which practically seals its fifth place in the regular season. Now the red and whites, to aim for the title, will always have to reverse the home field advantage. Armani was unable to stop the wave of the Shark who after the first few minutes basically always kept control of the game, further legitimizing its tricolor ambitions. The only good news for Milan is the return after 5 months of Nebo with 5 points in 14 minutes, while Mirotic's 14 points and 10 rebounds are not enough. 

In the first quarter the show is immediately the trademark of the match. Then after Ricci EA7 had found the advantage on 30-32 at 12', Milan stops for 5 very long minutes cashing a break of 13-0 from the Sicilians for the first escape of the match on 43-32 at 17' thanks to Galloway. In the second half the only time in which Milan seriously comes back into contact is the beginning arriving one step on 47-45, but the assaults of the red and whites are always repelled especially by Galloway, while the triple from half court by Notae sends the credits of the match at 38' on 86-73. Next Sunday last round of the regular season at the Forum against the already relegated Scafati, then the playoffs will begin on May 17th.
