EuroLeague preseason: Milan powers into Italian Supercup final

AX Armani Exchange Milan lost all of a big lead before righting its ship and soaring into the Italian Supercup finals with a 67-72 victory over Happy Casa Brindisi on Monday in Castelecchio di Reno, Italy. Dinos Mitoglou led five Milan scorers in double figures with 13 points and pulled 7 rebounds. Kyle Hines, Nicolo Melli and Shavon Shields scored 11 points each while Malcolm Delaney chipped in 10. Milan won despite struggling to make 5 of 32 three-point attempts (15.6%), less than half of Brindisi's 11-for-29 accuracy (37.9%) from the arc. Milan vaulted to a 21-15 advantage after one quarter and soared in front by 16 points midway through the second quarter before pulling into halftime ahead by 27-41 as Mitoglou was already up to 11 points. Brindisi worked its way back into the game after halftime to go ahead 51-49 on consecutive triples by Josh Perkins and lead 56-51 score after 30 minutes. Milan closed the gap but Brindisi was still up 64-62 with 6 minutes left before Shields took the lead back with a three-point shot, Malcolm Delaney added another, and the Milan defense did the rest. Milan advances to play the winner between two 7DAYS EuroCup teams, Virtus Segafredo Bologna and Umana Reyer Venice, from the second semifinal.


James debuts as Monaco wins

In its final game of the preseason, AS Monaco celebrated the arrival of superstar Mike James by downing host Hamburg Towers 82-95 in Germany. James hit the ground running with 22 points to lead the winners. Hamburg led after one quarter, 27-25, but Monaco flipped the scoreboard with a great rebounding to go ahead 49-50 at halftime. The visitors followed James to a 61-72 advantage after 30 minutes and just kept the points coming after that to the finish.
