In Euroleague a double party at the Forum. The Olimpia Milano celebrates its 84th birthday by forgetting the bad knockout in the derby with Cantù , overcoming the Panathinaikos (96-87) with a final half thrill - it was +17 at 3 'from the siren - but climbing over it in sixth place (10- 8) by virtue of the double direct confrontation in favor.
Messina during the week had been very hard on the team ("we either straighten or self-destruct") and got a great emotional reaction: Rodriguez orchestra (22, with 5/8 from 3), Sykes shakes off the anxieties and returns on scorer of all time (17), Moraschini (12 and 6 rebounds) blows Assago with an incredible dunk. The Ax Milano attack marks the maximum of the season but the difference is made by the defense prepared on Calathes, the best player in the whole Euroleague (22 points and 17 assists against CSKA): Micov, Roll and the same Moraschini alternate in marking and keep him at just 4 points (but 11 assists), with a paltry 2/10 shooting.
