Neither opponent had any qualifying chance, and they were playing for pride.
That’s why the final 94-84 win for Bayern Munich was even harder and more puzzling for Milan, which blew everything away in the second quarter in their last home game for the season.
Andreas Obst, with 19 points, was the top scorer of the winners, and five more of his teammates scored in double digits.
Bayern had a dominating partial score of 32-14 in their favour, going to the locker rooms for halftime with an 18-point advantage (52-34), after a tied first period (20-20).
Local fans booed their team, and no one from Milan appeared on the broadcast for a halftime flash interview.
Bayern pushed the lead to 25 points (63-38) early in the third period, and that pretty much summed up everything.
Milan opened the last quarter with an 8-0 run, trimming Bayern’s lead to 11 points (74-63) and then even to five (81-76) with four minutes left, still couldn’t get any closer as Bayern responded with a quick 6-2 run.
Shavon Shields, with 14 points, was the top scorer of the home side. Both teams are at a 17-20 record after this result, but in very different moods.
