The hosts started rolling with a 9-0 run in the first period led by 7DAYS EuroCup MVP Mam Jaiteh, that soon made it 21-8. Nicolo Melli broke the spell for Milan with three points of his own, as the first quarter ended 25-12. Milan started strong in the second period, led by Sergio Rodriguez in offense. The run climbed to 3-12 when Devon Hall blasted a three for Milan. Virtus seemed to find its pacing again but a new three by Luigi Datome made it 36-31 in minute 17 and 42-37 at the break. In the third period, Virtus managed to maintain some distance ahead, until Hines led Milan in the last minutes of the quarter to make it a 4-point game after 30 minutes, 62-58. A starting 0-6 put Milan ahead in the first minutes of the decisive period, and then again at 70-72 with Rodriguez's basket and less than 6 minutes to go. Milos Teodosic's three game some air to Virtus and the hosts never looked back again despite Milan's attempts to turn the thing around once more. A bucket by Isaia Cordinier with 1:39 to go made it 82-77 and the hosts managed the difference until the final buzzer.

Tribute to the Champs: Milos Teodosic

The former Turkish Airlines EuroLeague MVP repeated as an All-EuroLeague First Team selection and was voted as the EuroCup Finals MVP after leading Virtus Segafredo Bologna to the 7DAYS EuroCup crown. Injuries forced the 35-year-old Teodosic to miss seven regular-season games, which included a two-month absence due to a knee injury. However, none of that prevented the savvy playmaker from displaying consistency throughout the campaign and playing his best when it mattered the most.

Teodosic led the competition with 7.9 assists per game. During the regular season, he had at least 6 assists in each of his 11 appearances and at least 10 in four of those games, all while averaging 11.6 points in less than 25 minutes on the floor. The point guard then overcame a slow start to the postseason to lead Virtus through the thick and thin of the playoffs, all the way to the title.

Milos Teodosic | Season Highlights | 2021-22 7DAYS EuroCup

He dished 8 assists in the quarterfinals win over ratiopharm Ulm and then scored 12 points with 4 assists in a semifinal road triumph over Valencia Basket. In the title game, Teodosic shined brighter than any other player. Just 23 minutes on the floor were enough for him to bag 21 points, shooting 4-of-8 from behind the arc after making just 3 of 18 triples in the previous three elimination contests. Teodosic also contributed 3 assists. That performance earned him the finals MVP award while winning the EuroCup trophy sent Teodosic into a select group of players who have won both the EuroLeague and EuroCup titles in their careers.

A maestro on the court, and an irreplaceable team leader off it, Milos Teodosic enjoyed another special season in which he added more trophies and accolades to his remarkable career.
