Boom heard across Europe from Efes in Anatolia to Milan
An unlikely second half from Anatolou Efes in Milan, with a 46-17 that put Armani on the canvas (80-51) and left them winless in four home games.
In the second half, Anadolu Efes swept Armani 80-51 on Matchday 9 of EuroLeague in Milan and is now waiting for the return of Shane Larkin in his line-up to find rhythm and gain more consistency.
The two-time European champions took a 46-17 second-half lead, improving to 4-5 (3-2 h and 1-3 a) to leave the Italians 3-6 and winless in their field (0 :4 at home and 3:2 away).
Will Clyburn was magic (24 points, 9 rebounds), Pleiss, Micic, Embage followed suit and the job was done comfortably, against an opponent who couldn’t do anything tolerable.
Naz Mitrou-Long was Armani’s only double-digit scorer with just 10 points as Messina watched his team finish the game with 5 of 32 3-point shots and 12 assists for nine turnovers. Timot Luwagou-Cambaro had six points on his debut.
