If it wasn’t enough that Mindaugas Kuzminskas notch a season-high 19 points plus 9 rebounds while scoring the game-winner in the 82 – 80 victory over Olimpia Milano over Vanoli Cremona in the Forum, his delivery at the buzzer came with one insanely spectacular manner.
With less than two seconds remaining, the Lithuanian forward received a brilliant out-of-bounds pass by Vladimir Micov and slammed the ball in.
Cremona players lost the ball and didn’t even manage to attempt a shot to potentially win the match. Thus Milano improved to 12-4 while Cremona fell to 8-8.
Amath M’Baye added 11 points for the Red Shoes while Micov scored 10. Kelvin Martin had 20 for Cremona.
WATCH Mindaugas Kuzminskas’ game-winning dunk.
In the other games of the Week in Italy, Reggio Emilia and Cantu got some tough-earned wins, while a fight between Alessandro Gentile, Jorge Gutierrez, and other players, overshadowed the game between Virtus Bologna and Trento.
