EA7 Emporio Armani Milan got back to winning ways in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague by downing LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne 66-75, which saw the Italian side end its three-game losing streak and cause the French outfit to suffer a second straight defeat. Ettore Messina’s squad improved to 10-9 on the season, while Pierric Poupet’s men dropped to 8-11.
Nikola Mirotic and Zach LeDay combined to devastating effect for Milan, combining for 35 points – Mirotic had 18 and LeDay 17 – as ASVEL struggled to contain the two star forwards. They were also the visiting team’s leading rebounders, with Mirotic grabbing 8 boards and LeDay 6. ASVEL’s Nando De Colo, who surpassed Vassilis Spanoulis to become the EuroLeague’s all-time leader in made free throws by going a perfect 8 for 8 (De Colo now has 1,135 to Spanoulis’s 1,131), scored a game-high 22 points. Theo Maledon had 18 points, but committed 7 turnovers and fouled out in the fourth quarter. ASVEL’s other scorer in double digits was Andre Roberson with 12.

Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul-EA7 Emporio Armani Milan | RS Round 12 Highlights | 2024-25 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague
Roberson got the scoreboard moving with a step-back jumper from mid-range, but Milan soon got itself into a 6-9 lead thanks to 5 points from Mirotic. Maledon kept up his impressive form of late and moved to 7 first-quarter points by scoring 5 straight for ASVEL to tie the score at 11-11, though he had to receive some treatment and was held on the bench for the final 3:12 minutes of the opening frame. De Colo took over for ASVEL, also scoring 5 in a row, but Neno Dimitrijevic and Ousmane Diop both split free throws to ensure it was 19-19 after 10 minutes.
Diop got his own miss and scored a layup to give Milan an early advantage in the second period, then Maledon returned to the court with 8:10 minutes to go before the break. LeDay began to put his fingerprints on the contest with a pair of jump hooks, good for a 20-25 score, yet ASVEL kept fighting back through Maledon and made it a one-point game at 26-27. Milan was in front for the entire quarter after Diop’s opening score, but Mirotic ensured it was a four-point margin at the interval, 32-36, by scoring the visitors’ last 5 points of the half.
It seemed as though Milan was going to keep building on its momentum when Freddie Gillespie scored off a bullet pass from Mirotic, 32-38, which tied a game-high six-point lead for Messina’s troops. Roberson made a couple of baskets either side of a Paris Lee triple to reenergize the hosts, however, and Melvin Ajinca’s three-point play gave ASVEL the lead at 42-40. It was then the turn of De Colo to step up, with the veteran guard equaling and then surpassing Spanoulis for the most free throws made all-time, in an individual nine-point spurt that ensured it was a 51-46 score. Nico Mannion’s three-pointer off the glass and Armoni Brooks’s tip-in made it 51-51 after 30 minutes.
LeDay split free throws to restore the lead to Milan at 51-52, then De Colo responded with a one-legged fadeaway jumper, 53-52. That proved to be the last time ASVEL led on the night. Mannion’s layup and Giampaolo Ricci’s deep two, which was downgraded from a three, saw Milan go 53-56 up, but Maledon tied things up at 56-56 with a triple. Then, Shavon Shields struck from three-point land, Mirotic grabbed Shields’s airball to score, and Ricci drained a three to put Milan in a comfortable position at 58-64. LeDay effectively put the win on ice with back-to-back three-point makes, which swelled the lead to 60-70 – the first time it had reached double digits on the night. Leandro Bolmaro went 1 for 2 to set a new game-high lead of 11 points, 60-71, before the final score ended up being 66-75.
