Virtus Segafredo Bologna conquered the Italian Supercup title on Thursday with a hard-fourth 69-73 triumph over Dinamo Sassari Sardegna. Virtus jumped ahead 11-15 midway through the first quarter on a basket by Ismael Bako and finished ahead after 10 minutes by 19-23 on his three-point play. Sassari rallied in the second quarter to lead 49-43 at halftime. Semi Ojeleye tied it for Virtus on the first shot after halftime, but Sassari still led 59-57 after a defensive third quarter. The lead changed hands several times after that before Alessandro Pajola's basket meant a 69-69 tie entering the final minute. Only Jordan Mickey scored a basket after that, with 24 seconds left for Virtus. When Isaia Cordinier split free throws with 6 seconds left and Chris Dowe missed a long shot that would have forced overtime, Virtus emerged victorious. Mickey led the winners with 13 points while Cordinier and Marco Belinelli added 12 each and Bako 10.
Maccabi aces Israeli Cup semifinal
In the Israeli Cup semifinals, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv outgunned Hapoel Holon 97-91 to advance in what was the team's first official game of the season. Maccabi raced to a 27-19 lead after one quarter, expanded it to 52-40 by the break and kept pouring it on to lead 79-61 after 30 minutes. Holon reeled it back, but never threatened the outcome in Maccabi's favor. Alex Poythress led the charge for the winners with a double-double of 17 points, 11 rebounds. In the final, Maccabi Tel Aviv will face cross-town rival Hapoel Tel Aviv, which defeated Hapoel Jerusalem a night earlier in the first semifinal.
