Euro League
Armani Milano quickly acquitted Villerban, who was thinking about Olympiacos
An easy evening in Milan for Armani, who won 84:61 against Villeurbanne on matchday 15 of the EuroLeague.
With a comfortable home win over Villerban (84-61), Armani Milano continued its winning streak in the EuroLeague on Wednesday evening (December 20th). Ettore Messina’s team had more talent and more depth, stepped on the gas in the second third and tamed the performance of their old friend Gianmarco Ponceco in the 15th game of the competition.
The Italians climbed to 6-9 (4-3 at home and 2-6 away), with Nicolos Meli putting in a great performance and Savon Shields, Alex Poythres and Johannes Vogtman supporting him. Armani Milano was creatively great, didn’t make too many mistakes and secured the result for the positive home balance with ease and fairness.
The French lost 2:13 (0:7 at home and 2:6 away), who are now looking ahead to the home game against Olympiakos (December 22nd). There they want to break the pomegranate and celebrate in Lyon for the first time this year, with Gianmarco Ponceco expecting much more from the likes of Paris Lee, Mike Scott, Nando De Colo and Yussuf Fal. Timote Luwagou-Cambaro made eight errors and only provided two assists.
