Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot (2.01m, 27) shone in the Italian championship during the Milan-Sassari match.
Milan won a resounding victory (92-63) and the international accumulated 21 points (3/3 three-pointer), 6 assists and 5 rebounds in just 21 minutes. His best performance since arriving in Italy.
“We had a good match both in defense and in attack, with remarkable individual performances, noted Milan coach Ettore Messina. It’s never easy to come here and win against a solid team, which had just had a great game by beating Paok. Obviously we have our issues and they knew we had to play a top class game to win. We did it, with a performance of great focus and concentration. It’s a victory that gives us confidence to get back to work with more conviction. We can’t sit here and think about who is missing or who is injured, we also have to catch up on some of the work we would have liked to do in September but it was not possible for the many players involved with the national teams then on their return, the sequence of injuries. However, I was happy that today everyone played with conviction, determination, with personality, without feeling depressed on the pitch. Today we have taken a big step forward and we want to do another Euroleague Thursday in Athens and then continue in the league where so far we have made a path that I would say is very serious”.
Milan is 2nd in the standings (8-1) behind Virtus Bologna (9-0).
