Avellino and Olimpia Milano provided a great game on Day 23 of Legabasket. Heading into the fourth-quarter, Milano had a three-point lead (54-57), and the game was decided in the final period.
Gudaitis, Jerrels, and Goudelock pushed the tempo, and Milano went on a 1-9 run, increasing the lead to double-digits (61-71). With two minutes on the clock, the visitors were leading by ten points (65-75) and Avellino could not come back, despite Jason Rich’s 20 points. The game ended 75-82, as Arturas Gudaitis (13 pts) led the way for Pianigiani’s side.
Bologna and Pistoia enjoyed home wins, defeating Brindisi and Venezia respectively. Varese defeated Dinamo Sassari away from home, in what was a thriller, and a great game to watch.
In the final game on Sunday (25/03), Dolomiti Energia Trentino easily defeated VL Pesaro away from home. Pesaro is currently last in the standings.
