With Olimpia Armani Milano (5-0) not only refusing to lose but beating its opponents rather easily, the two next teams in the Italian League standings look ready to not let that distance grow any larger.
Reggio Emilia (4-1) took a narrow, yet highly important road victory against Aquila Trento (3-2) on the road thanks to a beautiful game by Pietro Aradori and Ricardo Cervi (20 p.) plus an offensively fluent fourth quarter where the winners dropped 24 points over their opponents.
The job that Avellino (4-1) had to do vs Brescia (1-4) became easy since coach Sacripanti’s players where highly determined to outrebound their guests (45 vs 31) and work as a team (28 assists in total).
