Montepaschi Siena celebrates Italian tilte (photo: www.menssanabasket.it)Montepaschi Siena became the first team in the 63-year history of the Italian League to win the title for a sixth consecutive season when it blew out visiting EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on Sunday with an 84-73 victory in Game 5 of their best-of-five final series. Siena's 4-1 series victory gave it a 23-3 record overall in the finals since 2007 and pushed its streak past that of Borletti Milano, which won five titles between 1950 and 1954. On Sunday, Ksistof Lavrinovic led the winners with 22 points, while Bo McCalebb added 16, Nikos Zisis 15 and Shaun Stonerook 11. For Milan, Ioannis Bourousis scored 18, Malik Hairston 15 and Stefano Mancinelli 10. It was Mancinelli's 8 points soon after tipoff that gave Milan an early 5-11 advantage, but Siena rallied to lead 19-18 on Lavrinovic's three-pointer to end the first quarter. Pietro Aradori and Zisis, who had 10 points in the second quarter, gave Siena its first double-digit lead, 38-28, on the way to a 42-31 halftime edge. After the break, Lavrinovic and McCalebb quickly pushed the lead to 20 points, at 54-34, after 26 minutes. Milan got as close as 69-57 on point by Omar Cook and Hairston before McCalebb's three-point play seemed to calm Siena. But then Bouroussis hit a triple and Hairston a two-pointer to make it 72-64, the first single-digit difference in almost 20 minutes. Zisis answered with a three-pointer for Siena, but Alessandro Gentile matched it. Then the situation was reversed, with Hairston's next basket from long range making it 77-61 before Stonerook answered from downtown. Lavrinovic's steal and dunk sealed it for Siena, up 82-71 now with under a minute left as the fans celebrated something no team in Italy had ever done before, six "scudetti" in a row!
