In the contest's first 15 minutes, Milan were at the mercy of Pesaro (19-45), before picking it up with some help from Kevin Pangos and two three-point shots from Billy Baron.

After conceding eight three-pointers in the first half, Armani Milan changed gear on defense, generating turnovers and scoring in transition.

Brandon Davies, who scored 21 points (12 in the second half) was the author of the win for Ettore Messina's squad, as the former FC Barcelona big man also scored the go-ahead basket that turned out to be the game-winner.

Stefano Tonut, Shavon Shields, Gigi Datome, Gianmpaolo Ricci, Nicolo Melli, Johannes Voigtmann, Paul Biligha were the absentees for the winning side, who -apart from Davies- had three more players (Kevin Pangos 13, Deshaun Thomas 11, Billy Baron 11) in double digits. 

On the other hand, Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman scored 13 for Pesaro, while Dejan Kravic added 10. 

Olimpia Milan's next pre-season match will be next Friday in Athens against Maccabi Tel Aviv for the 'Pavlos Giannakopoulos Tournament'.
