Olympia Milan – Pesaro 59:87
There was no tension in the battle for the title in the land of the boot, when thanks to the second quarter of 6:27 the group from the fashion city closed the story with the drop to the break and arranged for themselves a second half that was actually an easy trip on the way to the title. Luigi Datoma led the winner with 15 points and 5 rebounds, and he and his teammates appear to be very ready for a meeting with Yannis Sapropoulos and his players on Thursday in Italy.
Real Madrid – Barcelona 88:73
The Clasico of basketball was painted in the colors of the Blaugrana that celebrated a prestigious win at the expense of the sworn rival. Like Milan, Barça also opened burners in the second quarter and crossed the 20-point mark with the drop to the locker rooms, making the extra 20 minutes those that were conducted to protocol only. Corey Higgins led the Catalans with 20 points, 17 points and nine rebounds from Eddie Tavares on the other hand, were far from enough for the Blancos.
