AX Armani Exchange Milan used a dominant final period to outlast ALBA Berlin 84-76 at Mediolanum Forum on Tuesday. A closely fought first half saw several lead changes as neither team could take control, and it was 38-40 at the break. It continued to be a tight tussle during the third quarter, which finished 60-59. But a strong start to the final period allowed Milan to move clear, and there was no way back for ALBA after that.

Olympiacos Piraeus-ALBA Berlin | Round 24 Highlights | 2023-24 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
Datome knocked down long two-pointers with his team’s first two possessions and Melli added a floater for a 6-2 lead. Luke Sikma, Datome and Tamir Blatt all hit three-pointers, and it was 11-8 midway through the first. Alley-oops from Sikma and Christ Koumadje got ALBA closer and Lo tied it, 15-15. Fastbreak scores from Lo and Louis Olinde sent the visitors ahead despite Jerian Grant’s threeball, and an alley-oop from Koumadje helped make it 22-24 at the end of the first. Troy Daniels sent Milan back ahead with a corner three, and Rodriguez added another to make it 28-24. Lo got ALBA moving again, and Blatt hit another triple as the visitors moved back ahead. A three-point play from Rodriguez and three-pointer from Datome forced another lead change, 34-32. After a slow passage of play Sikma scored in transition to tie it, 38-38, and free throws from Lo made it 38-40 at halftime.
Ben Lammers hit a long two and Blatt made another three to keep ALBA ahead early in the second half, despite a pair of floaters from Melli. Lammers and Zoosman stretched the lead to 46-50, before a low scoring few minutes was followed by a flurry of scoring as three-pointers from Rodriguez and Ricci gave Milan a 56-54 lead. Jaleen Smith hit a triple for another lead change, but Ricci’s putback made it 60-59 after three quarters. Ricci opened the final period with a three-pointer, and 4 points from Tarczewski gave the hosts breathing room, 67-61. Mid-range twos from Malcolm Delaney and Datome gave Milan the biggest lead of the night, 71-63, before Sikma’s driving layup revived ALBA. But Devon Hall’s layup in penetration and another Datome triple established a double-digit lead, 76-65, and three scores from Hines – including a highlight reel dunk – left no doubt about the outcome despite 5 late points from Zoosman.
