Olimpia Milan, memorable victory with Panathinaikos. Messina: "Miracle"
Memorable evening for Olimpia Milano, which despite many absences beat European champion Panathinaikos 87-75 at the Assago Forum. Great protagonist of the evening è LeDay with 33 points and 8 rebounds: thanks to this victory the meneghina team è tenth in the playoff zone with 13 wins and 11 losses, while Panathinaikos è fifth.
"It's a beautiful miracle. I am very happy for my players. I don't live it as a chess game, it depends mostly on the guys. We prepare the game professionally, then if the boys don't give everything it doesn't help, said Coach Messina.
The'match analysis: "I want to thank the audience, who created a great atmosphere, helped us. I am very proud of the whole team, how they fought from the first minute, with heart, but also playing good basketball, because you don't score almost 90 points against this team otherwise. Last week we were depressed, after losing three players to injury in Venice, we reacted on Sunday and today we played with heart for 40 minutes".
Applause to LeDay: "A beautiful game. He had a super presence for 40 minutes. One of his best games in our jersey. He makes himself well liked. He has not yet fully recovered from his shoulder problem, but he did everything and spurred on his teammates".
