Virtus Bologna comes back and beats Barcelona: Lundberg superstar

With a great second half Virtus Bologna painted another great EuroLeague night. They came back and beat Barcelona: Shengelia, Hackett’s defence, Lundberg’s triples. Gems of greatness. 80-75 the final, 47-30 in the second half.

Virtus Bologna strengthened its third position in the standings and got closer to Barcelona itself. The fluid of Banchi’s management is far from over.

The Catalans were ahead for a long time, even in double figures, then Toko Shengelia woke up. Nine points in the third quarter, the triple of 61-61 at the opening of the fourth. The love of the Sefagredo Arena pushes the bianconeri, Mascolo signs the overtaking at 7.48/63-63), even after two Catalan fouls, it’s Lundberg who scores the 68-63 triple at 5.40.

At 2.07 Mickey misses two free throws to make it 72-70, Kalinic at the 24” mark ties it from the side, Lundberg in penetration hits again from underneath (7 for him in the fourth quarter), Satoransky, however, hits the heart with the 74-75 bomb.

Last minute, Hackett makes 2/2 from the lunette and then takes a break from Abrines. At 39” the ball in HCL’s hands with two key plays by the point guard. And Lundberg at 17” places the +4 bomb that makes the Segafredo Arena go crazy. It’s the conclusion.

For Virtus, 21 of Iffe Lundberg (13 in the fourth quarter) with 4/7 from 3, 14 of Toko Shengelia with 8 rebounds and 14 of Daniel Hackett. For Barcelona 15 of Willy Hernangomez with 5 rebounds, 12 of Jan Vesely with 6 rebounds.
