Shengelia leads the victory with a monstrous performance, Morgan glacial in free throws
Shengelia dominates with 52 potential points, Morgan decisive in free throws. Victories and key performances for the team.

Virtus Bologna Basketball
Taylor 6,5 (in 16' 1/3 from two, one recovery, 3 assists). He doesn't shine like in other occasions. But he never gives up and with a recovery he shows the way. Dusko trusts the gypsies of his elf. And he does well.
Hackett 7 (in 26' 2/4 from two, 0/1 from three, 3 rebounds, one block suffered, 2 assists). His defense on Della Valle is from a basketball manual. We've never seen a Daniel like this, for ferocity (competitive) and determination not even in his first year in black and white. If he could find a few more baskets...
Cordier 7 (in 24' 1/5 from two, 0/1 from three, 4/4 from free throws, 2 rebounds, 2 turnovers, one steal, 3 assists). It starts so-so, but he decides it, with a jump that saves the ball for a potential +3 (then converted by Morgan) and also signs the last steal. Destined to grow further.
Shengelia 8 (in 29' 12/14 from two, 0/2 from three, 5/5 from the free throw line, 5 rebounds, 3 turnovers, 3 steals, 2 assists). A first quarter that, in projection, gave him 52 potential points. Monstrous. He is truly a man on a mission.
Zizic 7 (in 19' 4/5 from two, 1/2 from the free throw line, 5 rebounds, one turnover). Against another old school center he proves useful. Dusko rides him a long time compared to the latest standards.
Payola 7 (in 25' 2/5 from three, 7 rebounds, one block, one turnover, one steal, 4 assists). Two important threes. And then the usual application. Blessed boy.
Akele 7 (in 13' 1/1 from two). The numbers don't tell the energy that Nicola produces. And if he stays on the pitch without making Toko's absence felt...
Belinelli 7 (in 5' 1/1 from two, 2/2 from the free throw line, one turnover). Two master strokes at the start. Then bench. But he will be needed.
Diouf 7 (in 19' 4/7 from two, 1/2 from the free throw line, 3 rebounds, one steal, 3 assists). He verbally argues with Taylor for a play that was perhaps poorly executed. If a cinno complains to his point guard, he's either spoiled or has a lot of personality. The second one we wrote.
Morgan 7,5 (in 23' 1/3 two-pointers, 2/5 three-pointers, 11/11 free throws, 4 rebounds, one turnover, one assist). He lights up when the team needs him. A fundamental three-pointer and then a glacial one from the free throw line.
