Daniels, Ricci and the rediscovered Datome allow Messina to return under the Virtus. Emiliani contracts for the Bahcesehir challenge?
Olimpia Milano overtook Reggio Emilia and took home the third consecutive victory in the league despite the absences of Melli, Delaney and Rodriguez.
Reggio Emilia-Milan 63-67
–
Coach Messina’s team leads throughout the match thanks to the tests of Daniels (4/5 of 3) and Ricci (5 points and 10 rebounds) and finds Gigi Datome. The Italian winger (5 points with 2/6 shooting in 14 ‘) has revised the field and the quintet after the long stop, warming up the engines ahead of Tuesday, when the Armani Exchange will be in Istanbul to play game three of the quarter-finals of the Euroleague against Efes. A trip to the Bosphorus that also awaits the Emilians who instead on Wednesday, again at the Ulker Sports Arena, will compete against the hosts of the Bahcesehir for the final victory of the Fiba Europe Cup, starting from -3 in the first leg. The impression is that this appointment has somewhat conditioned the initial approach of Caja’s boys, returning from a long tour de force between the league and the Cup (48th match of the season) and struggling for too long with heavy absences like those of Candi , Diouf and the Lithuanian sniper Olisevicius. The strongest won, despite Unahotels trying to fight anyway, coming within a step of catching Milan, with Strautins’ triple of a tie coming out by a whisker with 7 seconds left.
Reggio Emilia Hopkins 16, Strautins 15, Larson 9
Milan Daniels 14, Bentil 9, Grant 7
