From +8 in the 25th minute to -14 in the 30th minute. The explanation for the 80-65 final of Milan-Dinamo is all here. Not even the arrival of coach Markovic serves to give personality to a group that needs work but also another reinforcement if they don't want to risk being stuck in the fight for salvation.

It must be said that for 25 minutes Banco di Sardegna not only played on equal terms but often tried to stay in front: +4 at 8' (10-14 with a triple from Charalampopoulos) and +8 at 25' (45-53) with Tyree's flares supporting Jefferson and Diop.

Then the collapse: the exit of Kruslin (burdened by fouls), Jefferson and Diop took away the compactness of the quintet which took a sensational turn in the last 5 minutes of the half, 22-0 and the last partial of 67-53. It's true that Milan put up a Euroleague defense (with some referee help) but it's equally true that the collapse was too dramatic.

The last quarter was garbage time.

Worth noting in the scoreboard are Tyree's 20 points, Charalampopoulos's 13 and Jefferson and Diop's 12 each.
