PalaSerradimigni, in a
final four format.

EA7 Emporio Armani Milano, comfortably dispatched
Enel Brindisi (third in the 2014 cup), by a score of 71–59, in the first semifinal, on the back of
Linas Kleiza's and
Joe Ragland's long-distance shooting (17 and 16 points respectively), in a mistake-strewn game. The other semifinal saw cup-holders
Banco di Sardegna Sassari, have an easy 89–73 win over
Acea Roma (league semifinalist), with the hosts always leading, and Sassari
head coach Romeo Sacchetti, rotating his squad. The final saw Sassari add a second title to their prior cup win, by downing Milano 96–88. The
Sardinians started the game on the front foot, leading the first quarter, 29–14, while Milano struggled to score (0-for-6 from three). They continued to drive the game at the start of the second quarter, but Milano found a way back into the game, thanks to stronger defense and a stellar
MarShon Brooks, to answer with a 15–0 run from, 36-18 down, with Sassari then finding their scoring shoes to finish the half 50–40. Three's from Ragland and Kleiza helped Milano claw back at the lead, but Brooks missed the shot to equalise, with the quarter ending on 72–68. Sassari would stay in front for the rest of the game, with Supercup MVP
Jerome Dyson entertaining the fans. Brooks led all scorers with 26 points, followed for Milano by Ragland (17) and Kleizia (16), whilst Dyson paced the winners with 25, and three other players had 14 points. The
