The Montenegrin representative, Nikola Ivanovic, played a good game today, but his Breša team failed to overcome Olimpija from Milan away from home.

The current champion of Italy won 3:88 in the 85rd round of the domestic championship.

During the first quarter, Milano made a 7:0 run and took a 25:20 lead, but Brescia responded, scoring 10 points and taking a 32:27 lead at the beginning of the second period.

The advantage of the guests did not exceed five points at any moment, and the third quarter was marked by "mannequins", who at one point had a 12-point advantage - 72:60.

Even that advantage was not enough for Etore Messina's team to calmly bring the match to an end - Breša responded, in the finish it came within a point of the deficit (86:85) and had an attack to turn it around. Then Ivanovic was inaccurate by two points, and then he fouled Shields, who hit both free throws - 88:85.

There were 12 seconds left until the end, Breša started to attack, but Olimpija played a great defense and reached the triumph.

Ivanovic finished the match with 16 points (14 in the first half), three rebounds and six assists. More effective than him was the former Buducnosti basketball player, Amedeo dela Valle, who scored 19 points.

With the team from Milan, Šilds and Dimitrijević scored 15 points each.
