Bentil was one of three Milano players to score eight points; he was pretty efficient shooting from the field as he converted three of six attempted shots.
However, Bentil would have joined Luigi Datome and Sergio Rodriguez in double digit scoring for Milano had he been more prolific from three free throw line.
The 27 year old scored just one of five attempted shots from the charity stripe; in Game One’s 91-82 win for Milano, Bentil scored 19 points in 26 minutes also as a starter.
Game 3 is scheduled for Thursday, May 19.
