L'Olimpia overwhelms Red Star, Messina: "The boys are hungry"

Net Euroleague victory for Olimpia Milano against Red Star: at the Forum, Ettore Messina’s team è on a great night and dominated the Serbs, overcoming them 101-86, with Mirotic (23), Causeur (20) and Mannion (20) top scorers of the match. Thanks to this result the meneghini center their fourth consecutive victory and climb up to the ninth position in the standings.

"I am happy for the players, they played with great effort and willingness; to share the ball,” Messina told Euroleague TV. “Whenever our defense è effective we can run more. There are some moments when we allowed them to come back, or at least reduce the gap, we have to work on those moments. But overall I think it was a good performance. We shared the load of this victory and defeated a team, like Red Star, which is very deep, talented and well-coached".

"I think the boys understand each other well. They have a hunger and a desire to succeed and win games. We still have some highs and lows becauseé anyway we are missing important players like Nebo and Bolmaro. But also Stefano Tonut who è another important element, Diego Flaccadori…. We have to recover some players because è the season è long. Especially on Sunday in the league it è not easy after the week in the EuroLega. We need everyone's help".
