Messina: When you allow 20 points in two quarters, you have to congratulate the team

Olimpia Milan coach Ettore Messina talks after the big home win over Bayern Munich.

“I think we played a very good game. As you know, we are very short-handed and we played against a very good team, and honestly, we played with great focus, very humble, and I think my players were extremely focused in attacking their switches. In this, Kyle Hines was the player of the game for me because he gave us that depth inside the paint, attacking the switch every time and making plays that basically helps us to get the lead. But when you allow 20 points in two quarters, and 35 in three, you have to congratulate the team and just love them a lot because they work like crazy”.

Milan is fourth in the Euroleague standings with 13 wins in 20 games.
