Game 6

EA7 Emporio Armani Milano returned to the Italian throne on Friday night. In Game 6 of the Italian League playoff finals, Milan dominated to defeated Dolomiti Energia Trento 71-96 to claim the series 4-2 and become the Italian champion for the 28th time in club history. This is also third league title in the last five years for Milan which took control of this game from the start. Vladimir Micov and Mindaugas Kuzminskas hit triple and Artūras Gudaitis had a pair of dunks in a 1-10 first-quarter run that helped Milan to a 20-25 lead after 10 minutes, before a pair of triples from Dairis Bertāns, one from Andrew Goudelock, and baskets from Gudaitis and Curtis Jerrells opened 23-42 margin early in the second quarter. The visitors went into halftime with a 15-point lead, and never relinquished it. Trento got within 50-57 midway through the third, but Milan entered the final period with a 56-66 lead, before Goudelock, Bertāns and Kuzminskas each hit once from downtown in the first 2 minutes of the fourth, restoring a 15-point lead and Milan cruised the rest of the way. Milan had a balanced attack with six scorers in double figures. Goudelock finished with 21 points, Kuzminskas and Bertāns netted 15 apiece, and Gudaitis collected 14 points and 9 rebounds. Dominique Sutton scored 15 for Trento, and Shavon Shields and Toto Forray each scored 14 in the losing effort.[6]
