Lethal Dawn: Olimpia Milan scrambled in Berlin.

Ettore Messina’s men fail to impose themselves against Alba Berlin.

Heavy defeat for Olimpia Milano, outplayed in Berlin by a convincing Alba: it’s the 12th Euroleague defeat of the season for Ettore Messina’s men, the second consecutive one after Friday’s January 6 loss against Olympiakos.

The hosts were in control of the match since the first quarter, closed on the score of 20-12. In the middle two fractions of the game, the meneghini tried to sew up the tear mainly thanks to newcomer Luwawu-Cabarrot and Brandon Davies. But in the last quarter Israel Gonzalez’s men put the victory on ice thanks to an overall partial, in the final ten minutes, of 23-12. The game ended 83-63.

Bad stop for Messina’s men who fail to relaunch themselves in the standings of the top continental competition for clubs and, on the contrary, get hooked by the German lineup, which before the challenge occupied the last position in the standings, against five wins and twelve losses.

Leaders of the match for the Germans were Maodo Lo’ and Jaleen Smith, who respectively scored 17 and 16 points at the buzzer. Among the ranks of the Red Shoes, the two best were undoubtedly the aforementioned Luwawu-Cabarrot (16 points) and Brandon Davies (13 points).
