22:35 Our live ends here for tonight. Thanks to all of you, friends of OA Sport, for following the great victory in Milan. Good night and a sporting greeting!
Very important success for the Armani Exchange, which could not fail tonight’s match. After also touching +10 in the third quarter, Efes Istanbul froze the Forum by promptly returning to the bottom in the final stage. Shavon Shields (21 points) thought about putting the game back on track for Olimpia Milano, with coach Messina who had to give up Delaney and Rodriguez early in the final minutes due to injury (medical reports are expected tomorrow). At Efes Istanbul the encore failed after the success on Tuesday evening, with 19 points from Larkin and 18 from Micic. Now we go to Turkey, where at least game-4 will be played (matches on Tuesday 26th and Thursday 28th).

20:15 The Armani Exchange is already back to the wall after the bad defeat in Game-1 (48-64): a victory is needed to even the score by going 1-1, with an injection of confidence in preparation for the match -3 which will be held on Tuesday 26 April in Istanbul. Coach Ettore Messina will not be able to count on Captain Melli, who was injured 48 hours ago and who will not be in the match tonight or for the whole series against the reigning champions.
20:00 Good evening everyone, friends of OA Sport! Welcome back to the LIVE LIVE of Olimpia Milano-Efes Istanbul, match-2 of the quarter-finals of the Euroleague 2022!
Hello everyone, dear friends of OA Sport! Welcome to the LIVE LIVE of Olimpia Milano-Efes Istanbul, match-2 of the quarter-finals of the Euroleague playoffs!
We absolutely need a victory at the Armani Exchange, who lost 48-64 from the comparison 48 hours ago at the end of a low-scoring game with little clarity in attack and difficulty in defense. Coach Messina will also have to do without Capitan Melli, with the Reggiano who following an injury will be out for at least four weeks (the former Fenerbahce Istanbul could hypothetically return for the Final Four in Belgrade, scheduled from 20 to 22 May – in case Olimpia manages to qualify).
The reigning champions want to repeat the success they gained on Tuesday evening at the Forum, thus trying to close the series already in race-3 scheduled for Tuesday 26 May in Istanbul. The Turks will find themselves in front of a fierce team with a knife between their teeth, which absolutely must win to try to extend the series at least up to race-4.
Two-handed ball that will be raised at the Mediolanum Forum in Assago at 20:30. Have fun everyone with the LIVE LIVE of Olimpia Milano-Efes Istanbul!
