Messina: Great night, the atmosphere was unbelievable and the guys responded, everybody contributed

Olimpia Milan coach Ettore Messina talks after the home win over Panathinaikos: “Tonight was a great night – he said, at the end – the atmosphere was unbelievable and the guys responded, everybody contributed. It was a difficult game, against the most productive EuroLeague offense entering into the game, a team that was able to win against CSKA on the road last week. Sykes showed that he can help this team, Biligha played two positions and obviously Moraschini cannot play every game like he did today, but he can be a little more consistent. If we can do that, we are going to be more consistent and the pieces will fall into place.”

The italian team is sixth in the Euroleague standings with 10 wins in 18 games.
