Fighting off a furious comeback bid, Givova Scafati held on stunning Virtus Segafredo Bologna, 84-77, Sunday.

An impressive three-point showing fueled by David Logan. The 39-year-old guard connected 5/8 out of the team total of 13/26 triples. He finished with 17 points in the LBA Serie A Regular Season Round away fixture. Stan Okoye posted an 18-point, 10-rebound double-double. Kruize Pinkins produced 16 points and Doron Lamb threw in 13 points. Trevor Thompson added eight points and ten rebounds. With a third win in a row, Scafati improved to 4-6 in the Italian league.

Sergio Scariolo’s side fell into a tie with EA7 Emporio Armani Milan on top of the standings. Both Turkish Airlines EuroLeague participants stand at 9-1. Daniel Hackett producing 18 points and Nico Mannion following with 17 points were the top scorers in the home loss. Tornike Shengelia went for 13 points and five rebounds. Recently injured Semi Ojeleye (calf) sat out along with Milos Teodosic, Isaia Cordinier, and Leo Menalo.

Earlier Sunday, the Milan outfit guided by Ettore Messina blew out UnaHotels Reggio Emilia, 76-56, extending the hot streak in the domestic league, significantly different from the long EuroLeague losing streak. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot with 13 points, Giampaolo Ricci with 12 points, Brandon Davies with 11 points, and Billy Baron dropping ten more points stood out as double-digit scorers.
