The top-seed Perugia took advantage of the home-court factor in Game 1 of the best-of-five 2017/18 SuperLega playoff finals against No.2 Lube. And it was absolutely expected, knowing the fact Perugia lost only one game this season at their PalaEvangelisti gymnasium. Tonight, it was 3-1 (25-21, 22-25, 25-18, 25-23).
The Serbian Aleksandar Atanasijević “woke up” after struggling to find a good pace in the semifinals against Diatec Trentino and poured in 20 points for Perugia. Simone Anzani added 4 kill blocks. Osmany Juantorena scored 22 points for Lube.
Game 2, in which Lube will be the hosts, is scheduled in three days.
