Sixth consecutive victory for the Armani Milan, this time against Partizan (76-62)!
Ettore Messina’s team played excellent basketball at intervals, ran 18-0 record just before half-time and finally got a great result against Zeljko Obradovic’s side. Now, he rose to 12-15 and hopes for a combination of results, in order to be in the Euroleague playoffs!
Disappointing performance in the second period for the Belgrade team, where they basically lost the momentum and the match. His excellent presence Baron with 14 points, Panther’s 15 were not enough for the visitors.
