Olimpia Milano survived late drama in France to extend its winning streak.
Peppe Poeta’s team held off ASVEL’s late surge and, with a 77–76 road victory, recorded its third consecutive win.
The Italian side led 68–55 in the fourth quarter, but ASVEL mounted a late comeback and cut the deficit to 77–76 with eight seconds remaining.
Shavon Shields then turned the ball over, giving ASVEL a chance to win it. Braian Angola missed a long two-pointer, and Mbaye Ndiaye appeared out of nowhere to grab the offensive rebound and slam it home — but the putback came just a fraction too late, allowing Olimpia Milano to survive.
Marko Gudurić led the way for the winners with 18 points and seven rebounds, while Armoni Brooks recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Quinn Ellis added 13 points, and Zach LeDay finished with 12.
For ASVEL, Braian Angola stood out with 23 points and five rebounds. Zach Seljaas followed with 14 points, while Thomas Heurtel scored 12 and Glynn Watson contributed 11.
