Improving the situation in Italy’s LBA UnipolSai Regular Season, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan logged a fifth straight win on Sunday.
Prevailing, 78-72, against Estra Pistoia in PalaCarrara shaped a solid reply following back-to-back losses in the two-game week of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague.
Tucking in 6/13 from the field, Danish Shavon Shields registered a team-high 17 points. German Johannes Voigtmann posted an 11-point, 10-rebound double-double and dished out four assists in the Round 19 contest.
Rodney McGruder, Alex Poythress, Billy Baron, and Nikola Mirotic did not suit up for the team coached by Ettore Messina. Also, Giordano Bortolani and Guglielmo Caruso stayed on the bench.
Charlie Moore ended up with 21 points and Jordon Varnado tallied 20 points but fell short opposite the reining champions in Italy.
In a narrow win, 83-82, for Givova Scafati over Carpegna Prosciutto Pesaro in Beta Ricambi Arena, Alessandro Gentile scored 22 points, a new individual best for the 2023-24 season.
