Olimpia Milan wins the final. Messina: “Great signal of continuity.”

Olimpia Milano qualified for its third consecutive Scudetto final after winning game 3 in Sardinia against Dinamo Sassari 93-61. The top scorer for the meneghini was Napier with 21 points, then Shields with 18 and Melli with 13.

Thus coach Ettore Messina: “I want to congratulate Dinamo and Bucchi for the great season done. Then I want to wish Devecchi all the luck for his future, he deserves it the person. My team played a high level game.”

“In the first half we held our own and then in the second half we were at our best. We are happy for the third consecutive Scudetto final, a sign of continuity after a complex season like this one.”

“Sassari’s overtaking in the third quarter? There they showed enormous personality, tightened even more on defense and on offense moved the ball well. I was struggling at the time to think about that gap then seen in the final.”
