This season, it&#8217;s the first time that Venezia defeated Milano. &#8220;I think it was a high-intensity game &#8211; Coach Ettore Messina said -, I believed that our defense was very good for most of the night and the effort was tremendous. Obviously, we lost because we couldn&#8217;t score. It was not unexpected since we didn&#8217;t have our point-men Delaney and Rodriguez and we didn&#8217;t use our third facilitator, Kyle Hines. We still had promising minutes from Moraschini and Wojciechowski.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Olimpia led in the first period, then the game was very close throughout the night. Olimpia&#8217;s defense kept the team in the game. Reyer was able to finish it because the offense didn&#8217;t have enough scoring ability. Through execution and dribble penetration, Olimpia was capable to go to the line, going 24-for-26 for the night, but it didn&#8217;t have much more. And it wasn&#8217;t enough against a very intense Venezia team.
