The italian powerhouse is second in the Euroleague standings with 16 wins in 24 games.
Olimpia Milan coach Ettore Messina talks after the win over Maccabi tel Aviv:
“The game was built on the defense. We held a high-scoring Maccabi team to 68 points. I think my players played a wonderful defensive game. On offense, we usually share the ball. They were clever. They found good moments on offense. But I think the bottom line is after a tough weekend we had the energy to play without Zach [LeDay] and Jeff [Brooks] and play a good defensive game. Vlado [Micov] gave us some encouraging minutes after being out three weeks. So it’s an important win for sure, no doubt.”
